“I leave the gift of peace with you—my peace. Not the kind of fragile peace given by the world, but my perfect peace. Don’t yield to fear or be troubled in your hearts—instead, be courageous!” (John 14: 27, the Passion Translation)

This is a promise that surely invites us to feel more courage, less fear. It reveals to us that we can receive, willingly and now, the peace that the Christ-Spirit has freely given to us.

This serene state of mind is more than a lack of turmoil or a physical sense of quietness. It is a perfect peace—one that can’t be shattered by the noise of the world or by the beliefs that we are at odds with one another, that harmony is elusive and perhaps impossible.

The Truth revealed by the Christ is the law of God. It is the fact that God is All and that we are at one with Him and therefore with all mankind, all of His children. This spiritual consciousness opens our hearts to the ever-presence of Love and to God’s true control over us, over all.

We can accept this peace and reject the temptation to believe that such a blessing is not ours to have, ours to enjoy. This gentle peace has God’s eternal strength behind it. It is greater than any storm built of ignorance and fear. It comes from the very Love that is unconditional, powerful, and that shores us up with a confidence that invites us to share this wonderful peace naturally with the world as well.
