🌿PEACE🌿
Peace is a state of tranquility and harmony, free from conflict or violence. It can be a state of mind, or it can apply to a community or nation.
What peace means:
♡Absence of violence: Peace is the absence of war or hostilities, and the freedom from fear of violence
♡Positive thoughts: Peace can be a calm and relaxed state of mind, with positive thoughts, pure feelings, and good wishes
♡Living in harmony: Peace is living in harmony with others, without fighting
♡ Peacebuilding: Peacebuilding is the process of creating social bonds to negotiate freedom from violence
♡Symbols of Peace: Peace is represented by a variety of symbols, based on culture, context, and history
Peace is a stress-free state of security and calmness that comes when there's no fighting or war, everything coexisting in perfect harmony and freedom. In our war-torn world, it seems like there's not nearly enough peace. However peace can be big and small, seen in entire countries or brief moments.
For many people, peace can mean the absence of conflict or trouble. While this is a definition of peace, I don’t believe that is what Jesus was talking about in John 14:27. This peace that Jesus was talking about means rest, quiet or a stillness in your heart. It is not the absence of trouble, but it exists in spite of trouble.This peace pushes through all the disturbing circumstances that life can throw at you. It gives you the ability to endure and be calm even in the face of extreme turmoil. This peace doesn’t eliminate conflict or trouble, but gives you the ability to endure through it. Consider it an inner confidence that you know God will come through in this situation, and that removes your fear and worry and replaces it with peace.
🌿 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
