About inner peace…
2 Thessalonians 1:2 Grace
and peace to you from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. (NIV)
Inner peace is not just the
absence of inner war and conflict. Inner peace is the presence of God's love,
care, kindness, and compassion within your heart.
So many people do not have
inner peace. They unfortunately try to find inner peace in drugs, alcohol,
relationships, careers, hobbies, and numerous endeavors only to come up empty
and lost. Inner peace is not found in some kind of selfish endeavor. You find
inner peace by surrendering up and giving up to God all you have and all you
are. God loves you and cares for you. God gave up the life of His only son so
you could have eternal life. What seems important in the world causing you so
much conflict, war, chaos, and turmoil is not really important. The most
important quality of life is having inner peace with God. When we have inner
peace with God, whatever uncertainties we have or whatever doubts and questions
we have are all put to rest. When we have inner peace with God we may have
questions but the questions are of little real importance. When we have inner
peace with God we have answers instead of questions.
