My Peace I Leave With You

“My 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

Of all the verses of scripture, this is my favorite.

It centers me.

It pulls me forward reminding me I can do hard things.

Who doesn’t want peace? Who doesn’t need peace?

I grew up as the oldest in a very large family- 11 kids. While we ourselves weren’t a very loud family, with all those people it could get loud and chaotic. I was a teenager when I found this verse and it brought me great comfort.

“Your husband spends hours, days getting ready for his annual hunting trip. Researching the perfect location where he will get that prize buck. He spends so much 💲💲 every year on new gear and tags you want to cry. There went that new Kitchen Aid you wanted. But he assures you that it’s a good investment because he’ll bring meat home to feed the family all winter.”

Physics Changed My Perspective Of My World

“Do you have dreams waiting?

It’s time. They are ready for you to reach out and grasp them with both hands. That mountain that looks like Everest is high. But it’s not quite as high as you think. It’s possible!”

God Doesn’t Always Send Healing

“The lame walk, the blind saw. The leper was healed, and the dead lived again. The New Testament is full of Christ’s miracles of healing. We read of great faith of many with and without names that are given.
Something the Bible doesn’t say?
It doesn’t say that every single person with an ailment was healed in Judea. It doesn’t say that every single person who had faith to be healed was healed. “
