Peace to You

Thank you Jesus
That Your broken body and poured out blood paid the price for me to have PEACE.

“Peace to you!”
You repeat and repeat...
Oh how You want us to receive this gift...

Peace
A word so small but so encompassing

Peace
Peace instead of fear
As I trust You

Peace
Peace instead of worry
As I trust You

Peace
Peace instead of chaos
As I trust You

Peace
Peace instead of disunity
As I trust You

Peace
Peace instead of hate
As I trust You

Peace
Peace instead of loneliness
As I trust You

Peace in the storm
Peace in the new, the unknown, the familar, the circumstance
As I trust You

Peace in my body, soul and spirit...

Peace because I am forgiven
Peace because You are near
Peace because I am Yours...

Peace
Acquired because You were willing

To allow those nails to rip and tear Your flesh and hold You to the cross

To allow Your side to be pierced, and your scalp to be torn with the thorns

Willing to go there...to the cross
And take my sin, my shame, my guilt, my condemnation, my sickness upon Yourself.

“Peace I give you,” You repeat...

Thank you Jesus for this precious, unfathomable gift of Peace!
