TAKE HIS PEACE

“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.”
John 14:27 KJV

Jesus has given us His peace but we have to take it.  He tells us to not let our heart be troubled but many times instead of taking His peace and trusting Him to take care of the situation, we worry.  We need to understand that Jesus is not only our Saviour; He is also our Protecter and great Physician.

This is difficult for me to write but God laid it on my heart to share it with you.  Many years ago I was raped and had a baby girl as a result of that rape.  I kept her for five months but didn’t have the money to buy her food and clothes and other things she needed so I placed her for adoption and it broke my heart.

Every year on her birthday I cried and cried and had to give her back to Jesus again.  Finally, one year I told Him I trusted Him to take care of my daughter.  Jesus can take care of our children better than we can because He loves them with an everlasting and unconditional love.

When I told Jesus I trusted Him to take of my daughter, I had peace in my heart.  I still miss my daughter but I know that Jesus loves her and will protect her.  I pray that someone has told her about Jesus and told her that He loves her.  If you are hurting today, give it to Jesus and take His peace.

Heavenly Father, thank You for Jesus.  Precious Saviour, thank You for loving me, for dying for me and for taking care of my daughter.  I love You so much.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
