Peace

Peace that surpasses all understanding

It may sound too good to be true

How can it be true

When the world seems to be spiraling out of control

The news overflows with heartbreak

And our lives are filled with brokenness

But that’s just it

We can’t look to the world for peace

For it too needs what only its Creator can bring

Peace

“Peace of mind and heart”

The peace He gives is a gift the world cannot give

And He will keep in perfect peace all who trust in Him

Whose thoughts are fixed on Him

That means we have to put in an effort

We can’t just sit back and wait for it to come to us

Nor live our lives apart from the Lord

And expect Him to bring us peace

No, we must pursue Him

And thank Him for all He has done

It is then that we will experience His peace

Which truly does surpass anything we can understand
