The Gift of Peace and Inheritance.

John 14:27
27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

When someone dies, sometimes they have a will that leaves a list giving ownership of something to someone else. An example (a little out there), is a antique piece of jewelry which may be given the son or daughter of whoever died. The ownership of that piece of jewelry has shifted and the son or daughter has inherited something.

As a Christian, peace is our inheritance as a result of Jesus Christ. It was in God's will for that to happen. This verse sates "I do not give to you as the world gives." In another words, peace is ours forever, no matter what happens. Isn't that great?!? Nothing can get in the way of our peace with Christ.

Many say "I have to go on vacation and get out of here in order to have peace." Actually, I don't think you do. You don't have to go half a world away to find peace. God tells us he will give us peace in our most challenging times. This is because of the relationship you have with God. He is always working hard to master his creation -- YOU! So, sit tight and wait for God to bring you through to the other side.

Don't worry about anything. Rest assured, your peace will be granted. It's all thanks to God who rests within you as a believer.

“To be at one with God is to be at peace ... peace is to be found only within, and unless one finds it there he will never find it at all. Peace lies not in the external world. It lies within one's own soul.” ~Ralph Waldo Trine quotes
