"I HAVE TOLD YOU THESE THINGS, "PEACE I LEAVE WITH YOU;...

Jesus Christ said;
  "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."
                            ( JOHN 14:27 *NIV )

  Dear Brethren,
      Now with all that is going on in the World today it
  is hard to have any peace of mind.  After all, with wars
  and rumors of wars, terrorists, and violent weather etc
  happening all over the World, it is a bit unsettling to say
  the least!

      So remember that Jesus told us; "YOU WILL HEAR OF WARS
  AND RUMORS OF WARS, BUT SEE TO IT THAT YOU ARE
  NOT ALARMED.  SUCH THINGS MUST HAPPEN, BUT THE
  END IS STILL TO COME.  NATION WILL RISE AGAINST
  NATION, AND KINGDOM AGAINST KINGDOM.  THERE
  WILL BE FAMINES AND EARTHQUAKES IN VARIOUS
  PLACES."  ( MATTHEW 24:6-8 )  So no doubt the Universe is 
  unfolding as it should be.

      Therefore keep your mind focused on Jesus Christ 
  for He said; "I HAVE TOLD YOU THESE THINGS, SO THAT
  IN ME YOU MAY HAVE PEACE.  IN THIS WORLD YOU
  WILL HAVE TROUBLE.  BUT TAKE HEART!  I HAVE
  OVERCOME THE WORLD."  ( JOHN 16:33 )  

      So, why not start each day with the following 
  prayer, and even better yet, why not try to live by it as well.
  Then; LET THE PEACE OF CHRIST RULE IN YOUR HEARTS, 
  SINCE AS MEMBERS OF ONE BODY YOU WERE
  CALLED TO PEACE, AND BE THANKFUL, (COLOSSIANS 3:15)
  and by living this prayer it will help you find true peace and 
  serenity indeed!

        God, grant me the serenity
                To accept the things I cannot change,
                The courage to change the things I can,
                And the wisdom to know the difference.
                          Living one day at a time,
                      Enjoying one moment at a time,
              Accepting hardship as a pathway to peace;
            Taking, as Jesus did, this sinful World as it is,
                            Not as I would have it;
                Trusting that You will make all things right
                            If I surrender to Your will;
              So that I may be reasonably happy in this life
                        and supremely happy with You
                            Forever in the next.  Amen.

      See, don't you feel more peaceful right now?
  I thought so.  Have a great day!
