These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world."
-John 16:33
Peace is not a state of being
As such it would be subject to our environment
Peace is not a state of mind
As such it would be subject to our emotions
Peace, true peace, is a state of the spirit
As such it is subject only to our relationship to Christ

So True
In our world we want peace...in our minds we want peace...countrys can be at peace...we can feel at peace in our minds...but that peace is only false hope ready to be taken away at the slightest change in our lives..true peace can only be found in Christ I know this all to well even though sometimes its a very hard concept to understand. Another good write its good to see you back again.
