Peace

I believe one of the truest marks of a believer in Christ, one of the qualities that speaks loudest in today's world, is that of God's peace.
Phil. 4:7 - "And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
The world gives no peace. There is war, torture, conflict, selfish ambition, broken politics, debt, impure desire, etc. - the beginning of an endless list. And we've just gotten used to worry and anxiety as a given. So when a person comes along who is not ruled by that worry and anxiety, even in the midst of heartbreakingly difficult circumstances, it is beyond noticeable. It is powerful, captivating, inspiring, and life-changing. People want, nay, are desperate to experience this peace and its Root, even though it is beyond comprehension. And it is beyond our understanding because is not something of this world which is all we know; not something born of our limited, understandable (though, at times, incomprehensible) humanity. Praise the Lord for His gift of peace, promised to us through His Spirit and NOT limited by our human choices, circumstances, or understanding. I continue to pursue it daily.
