Peace...



Peace I leave with you; My [own] peace I now give and bequeath to you. 
Not as the world gives do I give to you. 
Do not let your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.
 [Stop allowing yourselves to be agitated and disturbed; and do not permit yourselves to be fearful and intimidated and cowardly and unsettled.]  
John 14:27 Amplified Bible

    Peace... not as the world gives. This is the peace I want. I am so glad God doesn't work things out the way the world works things out. So glad.

    He says 'stop allowing' and 'do not permit'! It's a choice! I choose peace.

    It's a peace that those without Him do not understand...one of my favorite verses. Thanks for sharing, and your beautiful rose.

    God meets us right where we need Him and gives us the only peace that passes all understanding.

    I so love the Amplified Bible, Elizabeth, and this line, " [Stop allowing yourselves to be agitated and disturbed; and do not permit yourselves to be fearful and intimidated and cowardly and unsettled.]" Wow.

    Beautiful, peaceful photo and words.

    Thank you for this reminder of what Jesus told us, along with a lovely photo of white roses that have a look of "peace" about them.
