I’m discovering the most wonderful thing. As I take God at His Word, He’s doing deep healing in my mind, emotions and spirit. He, alone, knows my needs and He’s being faithful to address those needs so they can be dealt with and healed with His Truth. Amazing.
“Peace I (Jesus) leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”
John 14:27
God’s saying in the midst of all situations to not let our heart be troubled by them. Instead, we can trust Him knowing He’s working all things – even, and especially, what we see as troubling things – for our good. This new way of looking at life is so freeing and joyful. And all we have to do is take Him at His Word and believe that what He’s telling us is true. Isn’t that wonderful and amazing?
The next time you’re tempted with something that troubles you, let not your heart be troubled. Instead, let God’s peace keep you as He shows you His faithfulness to work everything together for your good.
To let go of being “troubled” is so healing. And I’m just beginning to understand this Truth God knew I needed.
Thanking and praising God in all things,
Mark
