Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. John 14:27
While He had been with them, Jesus’ disciples had received His blessings many times. But now He was going to leave them and the coming years would be filled with many troubles. But He left them His peace. What a blessed gift. Our circumstances often rob us of that gift. But it is still to be found, leaning on His breast and resting in the Lord. He is our peace. —V. Gaynier
In heavenly love abiding, no change my heart shall fear,
And safe is such confiding, for nothing changes here.
The storm may roar without me, my heart may low be laid;
But God is round about me, and can I be dismayed? —A. W.
