Finding Comfort in an Uncomfortable World
Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you;
not as the world gives do I give to you.
Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful.
John 14:27 NASB
Sometimes the world can be an uncomfortable place. We may find ourselves rushing from point A to point Z with scarcely a moment to spare, all the while being bombarded by news that seems to signify imminent doom. How, then, can we find the assurance and comfort we so earnestly desire? By relying on God.
Today you are beginning a year of personal and spiritual growth. So as a gift to yourself, to your family, and to your friends, promise that you will do all within your power to seek and maintain the inner peace God gives. It is offered freely; it has been paid for in full; it is yours for the asking. So ask. And then share.
True contentment is a thing as active as agriculture. It is the power of getting out of any situation all there is in it.
- G. K. Chesterton
