PEACE

My full name, Angela Irene, means messenger of peace. That’s a hard calling to live up to.

I look around today and I see our world in pieces. Hearts in pieces. Minds in pieces. Relationships in pieces. The only One who can really pick up all of the broken pieces is the Prince of Peace. His peace is what restores all of the pieces of broken.

“I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”

JOHN 16:33

And it’s His peace I want to share with others. With you.

Peace (1515) (eirene [easy to spot my name] from the Greek verb eiro = to join or bind together that which has been separated) literally pictures the binding or joining together again of that which had been separated or divided and thus setting at one again.

Peace that comes from God, offers peace with God. 

Wholeness. Not some temporary bandage that slows the bleeding. Not just an outward climate without conflict. But oneness with God.

Ultimate peace is oneness with the One who created you and loves you. That’s what the Prince of Peace, Jesus, offers us. You.

I know we’re all looking for a little peace. Calmness of heart. Stilled wars – of the world and our minds. Jesus can grant that, too. But for a peace that comes when it makes no sense, Jesus Himself is our peace.

Anyone who knows me, knows I am not a perfect messenger of peace. But I know the One who is.

May His peace rest heavily upon you.

“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

JOHN 14:27
