Family troubles and the New Year take me away from the horses and i return to reflect on my long and short term goals and how my mindset feels entering the New Year
Hi Sister, Jesus gives peace John 14: 25-27 25These things I have spoken to you while being present with you. 26But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you. 27Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. When Christ was about to leave the world he made his will. Silver and gold Jesus had none; but he left them that which was infinitely better, his peace. I leave you, but I leave my peace with you. "The peace I give is of such a nature that the smiles of the world cannot give it, nor the frowns of the world take it away. Or, "The gifts I give to you are not such as this world gives to its children and votaries, to whom it is kind. The worlds gifts concern only the body and time; Christs gifts enrich the soul for eternity: the world gives lying vanities, and that which will cheat us; Christ gives substantial blessings, which will never fail us: the world gives and takes; Christ gives a good part that shall never be taken away. The worlds peace begins in ignorance, consists with sin, and ends in endless troubles; Christs peace begins in grace, consists with no allowed sin, and ends at length in everlasting peace. As is the difference between a killing lethargy and a reviving refreshing sleep, such is the difference between Christs peace and the worlds.
Hi Sister,
Jesus gives peace
John 14: 25-27
25These things I have spoken to you while being present with you. 26But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you. 27Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
When Christ was about to leave the world he made his will.
Silver and gold Jesus had none; but he left them that which was infinitely better, his peace. I leave you, but I leave my peace with you. "The peace I give is of such a nature that the smiles of the world cannot give it, nor the frowns of the world take it away. Or, "The gifts I give to you are not such as this world gives to its children and votaries, to whom it is kind.
The worlds gifts concern only the body and time; Christs gifts enrich the soul for eternity: the world gives lying vanities, and that which will cheat us; Christ gives substantial blessings, which will never fail us: the world gives and takes; Christ gives a good part that shall never be taken away. The worlds peace begins in ignorance, consists with sin, and ends in endless troubles; Christs peace begins in grace, consists with no allowed sin, and ends at length in everlasting peace. As is the difference between a killing lethargy and a reviving refreshing sleep, such is the difference between Christs peace and the worlds.
