What if the peace we have been searching for cannot be found by simply making life quieter? We can fill our schedules, find something enjoyable to take our minds off what is bothering us, or hope uncomfortable feelings eventually fade, but biblical peace reaches much deeper. Shalom begins with knowing where we stand with God.
When our relationship with God is made right, that peace has somewhere to take root. It changes the way we see ourselves because we are no longer trying to manufacture an inner calm we cannot create on our own. From there, it begins to shape the way we show up in our relationships too. Peace with God becomes the foundation for peace within us and peace with the people around us.
So when peace feels far away, maybe the first question is not, โHow can I make this feeling go away?โ but, โAm I bringing what is happening inside me to God?โ ๐
โPeace I leave with you; my peace I give you.โ John 14:27
