"For I saw full surely that where our Lord appeareth, peace is taken and wrath hath no place."
Julian of Norwich (Ch. 49)
Wherever God is present, there is peace. In His presence there is never any striving, any tension, any strain. In His presence unrest disappears, agitation fades away, turmoil dissolves into stillness and rest. He is always saying into our stormy feelings and circumstances, "Peace, be still." Anger and discord, struggle and conflict just cannot exist in His presence. He is our Peace. With Him we find the quietness, the tranquility, the calm we are looking for, all within His eyes of love and friendship. With such a great and loving Friend, we feel safe and at peace and only want to extend safety and peace to those around us. In God is true peace, and we have that peace in Him right now. We have not our own peace or any peace from the world, but God's very own peace. That is the peace we live in today!
"God's peace, which is far beyond human understanding, will keep your hearts and minds safe in union with Christ Jesus."
Philippians 4:7 (GNT)
A Prayer: With you, I just can't stay mad or upset for long! You always bring my agitated mind to rest.
