Peace - Where It Is And How To Find It

For about a year now, every night before I shut my eyes and fall sleep I've been spending time with the Lord and I have come to realize that I've been most at peace with myself and my life when I spend time in His presence. You may not have a faith or maybe you do, but you don't have a deep relationship with the Lord. Whatever your story is and whatever you've been through, I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that you too can find your peace in Him. Peace, TRUE peace can ONLY be found in Jesus Christ. You can run to your best friend and rant about your issues hoping to feel better, or you can watch your favorite show and eat all the ice cream you want- basically whatever peace looks like to you (apart from Jesus) and not be at peace.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 Why? Think about it this way: What happens when your best friend can't be there to hear you rant another hour about what's going on? What happens when you eat all your ice cream and your tv isn't working? I know what you're thinking: I'll just go buy more ice cream and watch my show someplace else, or I don't need him/her because I'll just talk to my mom about it. But when you go to Jesus, you don't have to worry about Him going away-Jesus is forever. He and His love for us stays the same, and it's so much more rewarding in the end. When talking to your friend or doing anything else, sure it's great to get it all out and have some me time. But after that, what next? You still kinda have that bit of whatever you're feeling still in you somewhere and your problem is still probably very much not being taken care of. 

When you take a few minutes to cry out to Jesus and talk to Him just like you would your best friend, that can be life changing. Trust me when I say you will finally start to feel peace. You'll start to feel it with yourself, with your issue, within your life, and the best part is-it'll never leave you, never forsake you, and it is always there with you whether at work, at school, or at home. It doesn't matter if you don't have a Bible, or if you don't even know how to pray. Just talk to God like He's a close friend. You might not get an answer right away. It might not be what you wanted or expected, but He'll answer you in the best way.

And you'll finally feel peace. TRUE peace.

If you don't know about the awesome sauce, overwhelmingly merciful, peace giver I'm talking about, feel free to email me and I'd love to tell you loads more about Him and the freedom in Him He's blessed me with. I can't wait to share more about what Jesus has done in my life and what He can do in yours.

Until next time...
