Peace

Peace is a gift from God.  It is possible through the atonement of Jesus Christ.  I think of the words of Jesus Christ when he said, My peace I give unto you.  He did that through his suffering in the Garden of Gethsemane and then overcoming death in the glorious resurrection.  His triumph brings peace to my soul.  I am thankful fro a savior who gives peace as a gift of his love.  In this world where there are so many worries, anxieties, and disappointment, his peace can calm the storm in any soul, just as he calmed the raging sea, he can calm all our troubles if we just trust in him.  We trust in him by living our lives the way he would have us live and by making sacred covenants with our Heavenly Father.


I testify that peace in this life is a true blessing from God.  It brings a measure of happiness that is in not attainable in any other way.
