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.
John 14:27
Peace can't come from other people.
Peace can't come from inside us either.
The world so often defines peace as feeling of contentedness and being happy with our life, getting along with other people, or having everything we want—true peace is so much more than the world knows.
Our true need is having peace with God, and a removal of His righteous anger for our sin. And the greatest news is, that need has already been met through Christ's death on the cross as the penalty for our sin. This brings a peace that we can find pure joy in daily as believers.
If we are looking for contentment, satisfaction, and hope in other people, or in our own heart, we will never be fulfilled. If we rest in the peace that Christ has already accomplished for us, our heart finds its true dwelling of what peace really is in our life.
