Peace Like No Other

“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not be afraid.” John 14:27

Peace is something we all desire. None of us wants to live in chaos and fear.

So often, we are so desperate for peace that we search for it in all the wrong places. We may be able to find it sometimes, but it never lasts.

True peace that remains and comforts us only comes from the Lord. No other person, place, or thing can give us lasting peace like Jesus.

The world offers a counterfeit peace to the Lord’s true peace. It looks good, satisfies us in the moment, and makes us feel in control. Yet, true peace comes from giving up complete control and giving it to Jesus. Trusting Him to provide for us, heal, guide, and sustain us.

We don’t have to be afraid or let our hearts become troubled. Instead, we can come to Him, receive His peace, and stop searching for it elsewhere, knowing that in Him, we have all that we will ever need.

Don’t keep looking for peace people and things of the world instead of Jesus. Lay down the fears and things of the world and receive His peace instead.

Do not be afraid; His peace is for you, and it is perfect.
