"Before Jesus died, He willed us His Peace. But we forfeit His gift through strife. God's desire for us is that we live in peace with Him, with ourselves and with our fellowman. He wants us to have peace in the midst of our current circumstances--peace in the morning, at night and all times in between. Peace is our inheritance! And it is a wonderful possession!" ~Joyce Meyer
"Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you; not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." ~Jesus Christ in John 14:27
"Peace comes when there is no cloud between us and God. Peace is the consequence of forgiveness, God's removal of that which obscures His face and so breaks union with Him. The happy sequence culminating in fellowship with God is penitence, pardon, and peace... the first we offer, the second we accept, and the third we inherit.?" ~Charles H. Brent
"Satan's aresenal consists of such things as fear, worry, doubt, and self-pity. Every one of these weapons robs us of peace and leaves us troubled inside. Do you want to discern where the enemy is coming against you? In the network of your relationships, wherever you do not have peace, you have war. Conversely, wherever you have victory, you have peace. When Satan hurls his darts against you, the more peace you have during adversity, the more truly you are walking in Christ's victory." ~Francis Frangipane
"Knowing that we are fulfilling God's purpose is the only thing that really gives rest to the restless human heart." ~Charles Colson
"Christ's life outwardly was one of the most troubled lives that was ever lived: tempest and tumult, tumult and tempest, the waves breaking over it all the time. But the inner life was a sea of glass. The great calm was always there." ~Henry Drummond
"Man is not at peace with his fellow man because he is not at peace with himself; he is not at peace with himself, because he is not at peace with God." ~Thomas Morton
"Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it." ~Psalm 34:14
"If our minds are stayed upon God, His peace will rule the affairs entertained by our minds. If, on the other hand, we allow our minds to dwell on the cares of this world, God's peace will be far from our thoughts." ~Woodrow Kroll
"Peace comes when there is no cloud between us and God. Peace is the consequence of forgiveness, God's removal of that which obscures His face and so breaks union with Him. The happy sequence culminating in fellowship with God is penitence, pardon, and peace... the first we offer, the second we accept, and the third we inherit." ~Charles H. Brent
