'The secret of peace
The secret of peace
"Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you.
Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful." John 14:27
Perfect loyalty to Christ — brings perfect peace into the heart.
The secret of Christ's own peace, was His absolute devotion to His Father's will. We can find peace in no other way.
Any resistance to God's will, any disobedience of His commands — must disturb the peace of our hearts.
No hard lesson which He teaches, ever destroys our peace — if we receive it with a willing, teachable spirit, and strive to learn it just as He has written it out for us.
If we receive the lessons in the way that our Master gives them to us — we shall make our life into beautiful music, and we shall find peace.
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6-7
