My peace I give to you…<\/em><\/h2>\n

The peace of God is unlike any other that\u00a0we see on earth.\u00a0 It is not an uneasy truce, or an acquiescence to domination.\u00a0 It is the abiding understanding that our identity, our value, our belonging, and our calling are safe.\u00a0 No person or spiritual force can change this in any way.\u00a0 We can come to God in tears, feeling worthless, or abandoned, or like failures.\u00a0 He reminds us that we are precious. We are His, and we are one of His chosen vehicles for loving the world.\u00a0 We can go into our days with confidence and light hearts. And, we are safe. \u00a0We are not alone.\u00a0 The God of Peace is with us, within us, and He loves us.<\/p>\n

True peace<\/a> is the absence of fear, and the Presence of God.<\/p>\n

\"peace<\/a><\/p>\n

He restores my soul.<\/em>\u00a0 Psalm 23:3<\/p>\n

Those who go out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy,\u00a0<\/em>carrying sheaves with them.\u00a0 Psalm 126:6<\/em><\/p>\n

Perfect love casts out fear. 1 John 4:18<\/em><\/p>\n

Satisfy us in the morning with Your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy\u00a0<\/em>and be glad all our days.\u00a0 Psalm 90:14<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
