God's peace dwells in our heart, it's part of the packages a man In Christ received as free gifts.
The world is not at peace, Infact Jesus said:
John 16:33 KJVS
These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

Glory to God that we are in Christ! And we have peace even though the world gives troubles and disappointments..

And this peace is just marvellous because it is not short lived
It is not like the one the world gives
John 14:27 KJVS
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

So we understand that no matter the condition and the States of things, a man in Christ won't worry like the world does, because the peace of God lives forever in in his heart!
The peace that supercede all understanding, all situations and no matter what you can find yourself in.
Philippians 4:7 KJVS
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Whenever you are in any condition that seems troubling and terrifying etc, RECOGNISE and confess the peace of God in your heart! It is forever there, it is incurable, no situations can crush it if we recognize it and acknowledge it!

I pray for you
2 Thessalonians 3:16 KJVS
Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all.

Giving our peace expression.

The peace of God is in our heart! It lives there forever, it's a fruit of the Spirit that everyone that posses the spirit of God have and we must give it expression in all circumstances we found ourselves.

God expect us to live with that kind of peace with others, in relation to people around us, our friends, our families.
Paul implored the church:
Romans 12:18 KJVS
If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.

Don't forget that this kind of peace is not a hypocritical one, is not founded on selfish interest, it's an unconditional peace that can never be taken away from your life.

With this, we understand that having peace with others, even those that offends us is not as a result of temperament, or whether you are this on that, it is a fruit of the Spirit and God has called us to it and to live it out!

1 Corinthians 7:15 KJVS
...... but God hath called us to peace.

God is the author, not our individual characteristic.

1 Corinthians 14:33 KJVS
For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.

So, we must allow this love reign and rule in our heart!
Colossians 3:15 KJVS
And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.

It must extend to everyone, those that you think they don't want it, those that you think worth it, just live in peace with everyone.
This should encourage you to end that long time rift, stop that fire of wrath burning in you towards him or her before it manifest forth!

We are called to be at peace with everyone, and that peace has no ending, it's foolishness or being gullible to mere men, but to us it is Being normal

Good morning.
