My Peace I give unto you
Is a Peace that the world cannot give
It's a Peace that the world cannot understand
Peace to know, Peace to live
My Peace I give unto you.

My love I give unto you
Is a Love that the world cannot give
It's a Love that the world cannot understand
Love to know, Love to live
My Love I give unto you

How apt, hearing the message of peace shared in church I realised that the peace in my heart had been shaken. For a long while, I've been able to live with an innate calmness, not rushing, nor doubting, setting a quiet time and knowing that I was at peace with myself and trusting that God was in control.

Recently, there have been waves tossing within about too many matters. Isn't it easy to run away from struggles, just shut it away and let me run my world my way. But what is life if it was a bed of roses. What would we learn, what meaning is there to life than to just live and breathe and have everything placed at our feet.

And then we learn of people who have struggled to the point of insanity. They suffocate in a whirlwind of emotions that just cannot be handled anymore. Perhaps this is where it differs for those who take comfort that God is in control. We learn that the God who has made us, understands us to the point that even the world cannot understand - but He does. That the Peace He gives is beyond what the world can understand, above troubles and fears, transcending above all understanding.

something I took out of the message was
"When we think less of ourselves, we think less of God."

John 14:27 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.
