On the eve of Jesus' mock trial and crucifixion, He left these words to His disciples, "Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you..." (John 14:27). Often in life, we seek to live at peace in the physical relationships we have. But true peace doesn't just involve an absence of conflict with others. True peace also has an emotional and spiritual component to it as well. Each of us battle through the effects of worry, anxiety, and fear in our minds and bodies. The personal peace of everyone has been damaged through sin and wrong living. "Our emotions and thoughts are nothing more than responses to what is happening around us" (Petty, Gary. "The Mercy Effect." p.98). How do work towards having peace in the emotional and spiritual parts of our lives?
