MAIN
IDEA:
In John
14:27 we read “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the
world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be
afraid”. Peace is the result of
resting in a relationship with God. Peace is more than an absence of conflict. It
is the tranquil state of a soul that does not fear and is content, trusting
that everything is in God’s hands.
There are several things we can do to show peace and make a difference
to people in our lives: 1)forgive
someone that has talked about you and let them know you forgive them, 2)smile
at strangers, 3) speak kind words to your family the next time they anger
you. There are countless other seemingly
small things we can do to promote peace in our lives. I challenge you to think of 1 thing you can
do now to promote peace in your family.
Simple acts can have a big impact.
