"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
How do we feel peace in the midst of our trials and adversity?
How do we feel peace within the turmoil of the world?
What is the source of that peace?
We will only feel peace through our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.
Elder Quentin L. Cook declared,
The heavenly aspiration of good people everywhere has and always will be for peace in the world. We must never give up on achieving this goal. But, President Joseph F. Smith taught, “There never can come to the world that spirit of peace and love … until mankind will receive God’s truth and God’s message … , and acknowledge his power and authority which is divine.” (2013 April General Conference, Personal Peace: The Reward of Righteousness, Sat. Afternoon Session)
In the Garden of Gethesemne the Savior took upon Him our sins and burdens so that He could give us the gift of peace.
By coming to the Savior and placing our burdens at His feet, we will feel the peace that only comes from the Savior.
To feel this peace daily we must strive to feel connected to the Savior through prayer, repentence, studying the scriptures, and performing service for others.
I have felt the peace that can only come from the Savior.
In Matthew 11:28 the Savior invites us to partake of His peace with the words, "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."
He wants to give us this great gift and will bless us with it.
When have you felt the Lord bless you with his peace?
