READ
John 14:27-29
27 “I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid. 28 Remember what I told you: I am going away, but I will come back to you again. If you really loved me, you would be happy that I am going to the Father, who is greater than I am. 29 I have told you these things before they happen so that when they do happen, you will believe.”

REFLECT
The Holy Spirit works in our lives to provide deep and lasting peace. This peace is far above any other peace. Worldly peace often equates to the absence of conflict, which we know will never come. Christ’s peace is confident assurance in ANY circumstance, even during trials and sorrows. What a glorious gift God left us with peace of mind and heart!
