Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid.
Jn 14:27
The Holy Bible: New Revised Standard Version, Catholic Edition (Washington, DC: National Council of Churches of Christ, 1993)
Dark hours come to us all; and if we have no clue to a peace that can pass unbroken through their murky gloom, we shall be in a state of continual dread. Any stone flung by a chance passer-by may break the crystal clearness of the Lake of Peace and send disturbing ripples across it, unless we have learned to trust in the perpetual presence of Him who can make and keep a “great calm” within the soul. Only let nothing come to you which you shall not instantly hand over to Him—all petty worries, all crushing difficulties, all inability to believe.
F. B. Meyer
Samuel G. Hardman and Dwight Lyman Moody, Thoughts for the Quiet Hour (Willow Grove, PA: Woodlawn Electronic Publishing, 1997)
Peace is a gift that truly passes understanding. Our day6s, and our nights, are fraught with things from the past, present and future that cause turmoil in our hearts and minds. If we learn to pass these to our Lord immediately, leaving them with Him, we can find the peace that passes understanding. It is when we cling to our troubled thoughts and worries that peace eludes us all our days.
May the good Lord bless and keep you safe.
Remember to "Always Love The Dertails,"
