Living In Peace
John 14:27 (NIV) 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.
On day 5 of the new year, I went to my first funeral for the year. As funerals go, it was a good one. We celebrated a life well lived by a truly blessed person who shared love with everyone around and who loved the Lord. There was a confidence of eternal rest with the Father. The choir sung beautifully; fond memories were shared. While there was some sadness, there were smiles everywhere. There was a general sense of calm filling the sanctuary. The atmosphere continued as we comforted and soothed one another with the traditional post service meal.
It was one of the most peaceful funerals I’ve attended. This lead me to think about leading a peaceful life on a daily basis. As John 14:27 says, Jesus left us peace. Are we receiving it? Are we blocking the peace that God has so freely given us? As we continue on our journey to Divine Health, peace can only be a benefit. Even when we have daily challenges, we should seek the peace that the Lord supplies. God is always with us at every step of journey and provides us peace for life and eternity.
