John 14:27 – 27Peace 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.
When we trust in Jesus we have peace.
I fully believe that for anything major to happen, God has to put his stamp of approval that it’s okay. Does that mean that everything appears to turn out hundred percent the way we think that it ought to?
No.
Do I believe that He is in charge and that we don’t always know the whole story?
I do. I take comfort that if God says tomorrow you’re coming home with me into Heaven then it’s time to go. Since He knows my future already, I trust that whatever happens to me it will be okay if He says it’s okay to happen. God is in charge and the more we turn our lives around the better it is for the Kingdom of Heaven and ourselves.
There is a peace that comes in knowing the ultimate Being in the universe has your back.
Now you can say, wow Pat, I’m glad you feel that way, must be a great mind over matter tool you got there. Or that’s quite an effective crutch.
No, I have the promise of my God and Creator that if I seek and serve Him to the best of my ability, there will be no regrets for eternity.
On the flip side there appears to be much remorse for those who are saved, but gave God nothing of themselves. If one thinks about it for two seconds, you’re in Heaven and it dawns on you I’m here, everything I put into life is down there and past, and I didn’t do much for Him which is all that matters.
There is a lot of unrest and problems the world gives to its followers. Not much peace in that.
Jesus gives us all our needs here, but He doesn’t give as the world gives. He’s waiting to give you as your King will reward you at the allotted time.
