Jesus gives you His peace

Jesus declares, “Peace 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.” (The Bible, John 14:27)
Here is how the world often gives:

• Based on merit—if you worked well and hard, you’ll get more.
• To get something back—if the world gives you something, it’s often because it expects something from you in return.
• Out of corruption—in this world, it isn’t rare that money is used to buy silence, power, etc.
• For control—giving to keep people in a place of dependence.

Fortunately, Jesus does not give as the world gives! He gives freely, out of love.

He gave His life to save you. He offered Himself without holding anything back. You don’t have to earn His love or work to receive it! He gives it to you.

Jesus is gentle and lowly in heart. He doesn’t want to control your life but to be your friend, your confidant, your shepherd.

Today, He is ready to give to you, simply because He loves you. Isn’t that incredible?
