Jesus said, "Peace I bequeath to you,
My own peace I give you, a peace the world cannot give
…. Do not let you hearts be troubled or afraid."
John 14:27

Peace and joy are fruits of life in Me. They have little to do with a quiet and untroubled life. The peace which passes all knowledge is My gift in and from the Father, and it issues from the love and self-giving which has existed before all worlds were created.

This is the peace which I offer all who live in Me. Winds and storms and perilous seas will abound in the world for the true of heart and mind no less than for the faithless and reprobate. But they will not hurt or disturb the faithfully committed in Me, anchored by the safety of the Father's love.

And the peace of heart and mind, shared by all who are bound together in the Father's love, is a strength and power which stretches out to all who are borne on the seas of time and experience.

As you give yourself to Me, so do I fill you with the Father's peace, reaching out through you to those who have not yet found the safety of the Father's love.
