Gaining peace

Hello everyone,
​
I hope you have a great day.  Yesterday, I talked about practicing virtues so we can bear good fruit.  In doing that, we grow in the name of Jesus, and we learn to have peace.  Peace is such a gift and a joy.  It gives us a peace of mind and teaches us to enjoy life one day at a time. 
 
Peace only comes from God and when we gain a relationship with Him, we grow to be dependent and put our burdens in His hands.  When we do that, life is less stressful, and we don’t worry about trials and tribulations that come before us.  We have got to have faith in God and trust Him in order to be at peace.  That’s the only way anyone can have peace.  When we encounter situations that are hard to handle, we need to give the battle to God.  I don’t know if you ever heard the song; “This Battle is not Yours, it’s the Lords” by Yolanda Adams but if you haven’t, please take time out and listen to that song on YouTube if you can. Actually, I put the link at the bottom of this message as well.
 
The beauty of peace is we learn to be happy even with the small things in life, when we fall, we learn to let go and let God and get back up in due time.  Peace is not worrying about life.  It’s like putting mail in the mailbox and knowing that it will be delivered. When we trust God, we know that He will deliver so when life gets tough, let’s not give up but know that He’s with us.  Don’t worry about it and be at peace.  Even if we find ourselves in a tough situation, don’t worry.  God looks at our hearts and when we trust Him, He will give us peace.  Enjoy the words below regarding peace:
 
PEACE
 
When you can get through trials and tribulations
You know you have peace
 
When you can deal with the stress in your life
You know you have peace
 
When you go through pain and grow from your experiences
You know you have peace
 
When you are able to walk on bumpy roads
You know you have peace
 
When you fall and try again
You know you have peace
 
When you cry tears and know that God is holding your hand
You know you have peace
 
When you awaken with such happiness
You know you have peace
 
When you feel joy, when your life is a mess
You know you have peace
 
When you go through battles and give it to God
You definitely have peace.
 
Always have peace and know that God will take all of your burdens.
PHILIPPIANS 4:6,7
 
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
 
Let’s always remember that each day is a new day and God is working in our lives.  Let’s learn to be at peace just like God said in Philippians 4:6,7.  Enjoy the words of the song because it's so powerful.  “This Battle is not yours”.
