PEACE

It has been close to a week since my brother came to take over for me with my mum. In this weeks time, my responsibility and fear have been at a calmer level. If I "would" only incorporate this peace in my life all the time. As the devotional states below:


"My peace is such an all -encompassing gift that it is independent of circumstances. Though you lose everything else, if you gain My Peace you are rich indeed.

Let that be a deep comfort to you, especially amidts the many aspects of your life over which you have no control! When you are feeling at the mercy of your circumstances, My all-encompassing Peace is exactly what you need, even though you sometimes feel unable to receive it. Perhaps that is because you cling to other things-your loved ones, your possessions, your reputation. It's as if you are wrapping your fingers tightly around a small copper coin while I am offering you unlimited supplies of pure gold. My desire is to help you treasure My Peace above everything in the world-recognizing it as a supernatural gift, bequeathed to My followers shortly before My death.

A man who knows he will soon die wants to leave something precious with those he loves. Therefore, I "willed" My Peace to My disciples and all who would follow Me. I know this was a difficult gift to accept, especially in the midst of adversity. So, after My resurrection, the first words I spoken to My disciples were "Peace be with you." They needed this reassurance to reinforce what I taught them before I died. You also need to be reminded of the divine nature of this gift, for it is not the world's peace I give you: It is Peace that transcends all understanding."
