Searching for Peace Posted bykrisshetterJuly 2, 2020Posted inUncategorized View this post on Instagram What steps do you take to have peace in your life? For some it might be destructive habits that they think will soothe them. For others it might be doing things to “make themselves happy.” But all human-directed, human-focused peace is fleeting. Your plans get interrupted, you realize you spent too much money or you ate too many cookies. Divine-gifted peace is steady and everlasting. . I get so confused though, with religious gobbledygook. Christians say, “peace be with you” or “may the peace of God be in you.” But how many people really know what that means? . When we have peace “with” God we actively choose to accept that Jesus died to give us a clean slate. We choose to dwell in God’s truths, not society’s. That cultivated, appreciated peace leads us to the peace that God provides— a sureness, a trust that He is always with us. I like to picture it as being snuggled down in His arms, either in times of joy or strife. This peace evens out my life. And this peace won’t make me fat or dent my wallet. . #peace #peacewithin #god #trust #jesus #gratitude #love A post shared by Kris Shetter (@krisshett) on May 29, 2020 at 2:11pm PDT Share this:TwitterFacebookPinterestPrintLike this:Like Loading...
