"The Peace of God is more valuable than anything the world has to offer, and we must protect it as consistently as a tender infant." --Hugh Prather, author
I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid.
All we need to do to be a beneficiary of God's peace, is to believe in Jesus and all that He did to restore us to the family. Now I just need to remind myself that I need to protect God's peace in me just as I would one of my own children or grandchildren. God's peace amongst the chaos in the world is a gift I cherish....just like I cherish my grandchildren. The world cannot give me the kind of peace God gives, so I will no longer expect it from the world nor seek it. This truly simplifies everything!
Father, my prayer is that everyone would come to You to find the peace we all so desperately need. May I never choose anything over Your Peace. May I protect it as I would a little child.
