"Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful." -John 14:27 (NASB)
When I was kid, I used to watch Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood on PBS. I recently came across a quote from Mr. Fred Rogers, who said, "When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, 'Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.'" Looking for helpers can give us peace of mind, even in the midst of calamity.
We can look for helpers and we can be helpers, showing love by extending helping hands. We can help each other feel peace, but we should remember that the love and peace we share are small in comparison to the love and peace of Jesus. Jesus came to earth and made the ultimate sacrifice, showing us love. He also promised us the greatest peace. We don't have to worry or be fearful, we should seek the abundant love and peace from God the Father and Jesus the Son that goes beyond anything the world can provide!
Don't worry or fear, but embrace the peace promised by Jesus!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for the peace that You have given to me through Your Son. Help me to embrace that peace and to be a helper so that others can know Your the peace that You offer. Through Your Son I pray, amen.
