Jesus said,
"I have told you all this that
in Me you may find peace . In the
world you will have trouble. But courage
! The victory is Mine : I have conquered
the world".
The peace of right commitment and
trust in its outcome is yours and
belongs to all who listen and follow
and who think and act and live and
love in the light and power of it.
It is not to bask ceaselessly in
sunny and shallow waters but to
stand steadfast and sure on a safe
headland, with contrary winds and
tides surrounding . Herein is strength
and growth and progress ; to regard
storms and subtle currents which
encircle as the challenging frontiers
of the Father's Kingdom. For that
is what they are. But nothing can
harm those who are rooted and grounded
in Me , for I have conquered the
world for the Father and all who
live in Me and I in them are equipped
to withstand all that a contrary
world and the power of evil presence
can hurl at them. When the outlook
is turbulent and dark it is necessary
only to consider these things ,
to open the eyes of the mind to
see the light beyond the horizon
and to relate in faith and trust
and love to My presence in the innermost
recesses of the heart.
If you do this you will find peace
and no one will be able to take
it from you.
