PEACE!

You know when you have God's peace. No doubt. Right now, according to the world, I should not have peace at all. I should be at war with God and everyone and everything. There is some stuff going on in my life that should make me angry or sad or disappointed or just very broken down and disheartened. And I felt that way for a little bit. But man, I cannot even describe the peace that I am experiencing right now. God has totally wrapped His arm around me and told me that everything is happening for a reason and that I should not worry about what has happened because it will all work out for good in the end. I do not know when that "end" is, but I will choose to trust in God and His good will. He knows everything that is going on in my life and has chosen to allow it to happen for a reason; that is SOOOO comforting. First He created me in love, and then when I sinned and messed my whole life up, He sent His son to die for me on the cross and take away my sin so that I could one day be with Him in heaven.... and now THIS - He gives me peace about everything that is happening in my life. I honestly CANNOT explain it, it's THAT cool. And I may not have it for very long... I am not sure if it depends mostly on me, or on Him. Like, I guess if I pursue this peace then He will give it to me! I WILL pursue it because NOTHING IS BETTER. I'm super encouraged by this, and I want anyone reading this to know that knowing God gives you SO MUCH TRUE PEACE. Embrace it now!!!!
