I had not been sure what I was going to share, and then I read something to my husband, a simple quote about without have Christmas in the heart, you can believe, and he said that’s true, paused a moment and then said kinda like this…..
“Man who have not Faith in the Lord, shall never have peace!” ~ hubby james
It hit me, wow! He had a very profound and true statement!! And you may be asking yourself how can this be? But here you go…
John 14:27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world give do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.
John 16:33 I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulations. But take heart; I have over the world.
2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
Colassians 3:15 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful.
There’s a few scriptures about peace. And It’s so true. One can’t have a real peace without our Lord, Jesus Christ. When we were going through the first adoption and were so nervous and scared, the spirit brought the words of 2 Timothy 1:7, it was the comfort and reminder of how it would all work out, I had to stop letting Satan take my thoughts. He was only there to steal my joy. And even this time, and even though the adoption didn’t go through, I kept peace the entire time, because my faith was in the Lord. I didn’t let what Satan was doing stress me out and freak me. I knew that God had me, to carry me through no matter what may come.
I really look back and some of the hard times, we have had in through the years, and I know that I had we not had our faith in the Lord, we just wouldn’t have been able to find peace and comfort, but even as far to carry on. But with him, we sure do have a peace that, even I can’t understand beyond it’s because of him.
Hugs and Blessings,

Hi Ms. Patty!
So true. The adoption process does involve a LOT of stress and nervousness...we know that! :) I love that God gives us peace!
Thank you for participating in Faithful Fridays!
God bless you!
Joy :D
You're so right, Patty. God wouldn't have given us all those scriptures about peace if it wasn't important. I have no idea how folks live without the Lord. I wouldn't want to live a day without Him. He's the only peace I have in this chaotic world!
I want more faith!
Thanks for participating! Looking forward to April!
Love,
Tammy
I agree with your hubby. We can only find peace through Jesus. I know He has brought me through so many difficult times. He gives us "peace that passes all understanding." Blessings!
