fruits of the Spirit - Peace

Peace

is surrendering and yielding to the Lord’s control, for He is our ultimate peace! It is allowing tranquility to be our tone and to control our equanimity. This will be fueled by our harmonious relationship with God so we can hand over control of our heart, will, and mind to Him. Once we make real peace with God, we will be able to make and maintain peace with others.

Matthew 5:9 - Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.

Colossians 3:15 - And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful.

NIV. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.

Philippians 4:7 - And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Peace is giving up control. Strengthening my relationship with Him so I give up control. Peace can rule my heart. Unite me with the body. God’s peace is better than my understanding. Peace will guard me.
