It Can Come

We feel unsettled and unsatisfied.  We aren't content, but sometimes don't necessarily understand why.  Often times our peace as evaded us, and we're left feeling confused.

John 14:27 says, "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." 

So often we're looking for those things that the world offers in a temporary status.  We sometimes believe that the more we own, the happier we will be.  If we get that job promotion, then we will be content.  

However, nothing this life has to offer will bring satisfaction if it is empty of a close relationship with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  The Lord created us to want Him and without Him we will never truly know peace and a life without fear.

Father, help us to look to You and to fully experience the peace You intend for us to know. Amen.
