The Source of Peace
God offers serenity of heart to all believers. The Holy Spirit, who lives inside every follower of Christ, can keep peace flowing like sap from a vine to its branches. (John 15:1-5) Sadly, many Christians overlook this endless source of calm because of certain false assumptions. Some wrongly think that peace is the result of ideal conditions, but this world is far from perfect. That means we will never achieve the exact life we want on this earth, and its circumstances can't provide us with serenity. Others believe peace must be requested from God, who seems far away in the heavens. On the contrary, the union between the Lord and His followers is intimate. Tranquility is available to us immediately from Christ because He lives within us. Serenity is a direct result of a relationship with Jesus Christ. No outside situation can tamper with that connection.
