As we are leaving this Christmas season this verse stays on my mind. Jesus came to give us peace. Not what is happening in the world around us, but inside us...in our minds. This is important, for all battles we fight emotionally begins in the mind.
Jesus promised us,"peace that passes all understanding" (Phil. 4:7). It IS possible to have peace of mind, even when all the pieces of your world seems to be flying around you, and you can't seems to grab a hold of them to put them back together. All you have to do is reach up and grab Jesus' hand and hold on for dear life. If you do that, He will give you that peace,for He "has overcome the world"( John 16:33), and all that you are dealing with... if you just give your fears, and tears to Him.
That does not mean that you will not go through feeling of sadness. You will just have peace in the mist of the sadness.
Comforting hugs,
Chaplain Toni
