NEVER GIVE UP!!!

You ever heard the saying, “Life is tough”?  How about, “When the going gets tough, the tough gets going”?  Well, I recently discovered what tough is: God’s peace.  God’s peace is tough.  In John 14:27 Jesus tells us that He has given us peace.  Not just any kind of peace, not circumstantial peace.  But His peace.  Deep down-in-your-spirit peace that does not depend on external calm.  I’ve learnt that God’s peace is not the absence of trouble or turmoil.  It is the steadying force by which we can stay focused on Him and the task at hand, and recognize His light as He shines it so that we can find our way out of that trouble and turmoil.  And His Word is His light.
