Peace seems to be on everyone’s mind, which is nothing new. It seems that we have been chasing peace since time began. We want a peaceful world, a peaceful home, and a peaceful workplace – a peaceful life. Some people who would give everything they have for a few minutes of peace. Peace cannot be found in a treaty or negotiation or political party. Peace is an inside job and can only be found in one place – a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. When we know Him, we can experience and know peace.
Peace is the condition of wholeness and the sense of well being that comes from knowing God and being made right in His eyes. Peace is completely dependent upon His presence in us and upon His gift of eternal life. We come into this world with an ache in our soul, a longing in our heart and a deep sense of being lost. When we find God, we find home. Peace immediately takes up residence in our hearts, and we are eternally “found.” So, don't forget: "Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts" (Colossians 3:15a).
