"Our idea of peace is that it must be outward before it can be inward, that all enemies must be driven away, and all troubles cease. But the Lord's idea was of an interior peace that could exist in the midst of turmoil, and could be triumphant over it. And the ground of this sort of peace is found in the fact, not that we have overcome the world, or that we ever can, but Christ has overcome it. Only the conqueror can proclaim peace, and the people whose battles He has fought, can do nothing but enter in to it.
The Lord our peace.☕
