Inner Peace

While I was extremely board this morning at about 2 am and could not fall asleep, I opened one of the many books that I have brought to school with me. The book that I opened is basically about different topics and how they relate to us. The one that I thought that I really wanted/needed to read the most was on peace. These past couple weeks have been very stressful and I have found myself struggling to find a sense of peace. The personal meaning of the term is a sense of inner ease and calm. The biblical meaning was a state of blessed harmony resulting from a spiritual completeness. I absolutely love the biblical definition behind it. Sometimes we think that our own peace can come from ourselves, but that is not true. True peace that is a peace that we enjoy to experience is a result of our relationship with Christ. Christ is complete in us! I began to think that this peace can be more than just at times when I am not stressed. This kind of peace is so important for us to cling to even when we are extremely stressed out. Our peace in Him and completeness through Him should be a never ending thing. It should not just be on special occasions or when we feel like we can receive His peace. His peace is always there waiting for us. It is our choice of whether we want to live it out or not.
