The beautiful Words of John 14:27 gives us hope—“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you.” Jesus offers us peace, not as the world gives, but as He alone gives. We, as believers, can accept this peace or ignore it. However, accepting God’s Peace transforms our lives. So much so that when we possess this life-changing peace, we can share that gift with fellow Christians, family members, friends, and associates. As we all know, peace can be a scarce commodity in a demanding 21st-century world. 

How, then, can we find the respite we seek? We surrender our life to God and do not anxiously grab it back as though it were in peril in His hand. Let us submit our lives, hopes, and prayers to our loving God, and in doing so, enjoy His Grace and Peace. When we feel breathless with apprehension, we can rest assured in our Savior’s Omnipotent power. As He releases us from our fears, our spirits and our bodies can return to a state of rest, free from worries, enriched by God’s sustained peace — John 14:27
