John 14:27 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 peace God gives us goes much further than peace we can gain from earthly measures…
Having someone stand by you, give you hugs, comfort you with words and generally be there when others are deserting you makes a very big difference to your hope.
Christ wants to make sure we get all of the above and more so we can grow spiritually; so we can have hope where there is no earthly hope.
God’s love for you knows no ends – rest in it and grow in it!
