EXPERIENCE JESUS' ROBUST PEACE

Meditate On
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:6-7
Experience Jesus’ Robust Peace
Peace is not the absence of trouble in your life. It is possible to be in the midst of the biggest crisis in your life and still experience peace. That’s the true kind of peace that Jesus gives—peace that surpasses all understanding. Naturally speaking, it does not make sense for you to feel completely at rest and at peace in the middle of a clearly stressful situation, but supernaturally, you can be filled with His peace!
The world defines peace based on what is happening in the sensory realm. Its notion of peace would look something like this: A man lying in a hammock on a white sandy beach with waves rolling languidly along the shoreline. It calls that peace—until reality kicks in!
Beloved, you cannot use your external surroundings to permanently influence the turmoil that you are feeling inside. Only Jesus can touch what you are feeling inside and turn that turmoil into His peace. It’s not the other way round. With Jesus, transformation is always from inside out and not outside in. So when you turn your cares into prayers and seek His presence and favor, He puts a peace and rest in your heart that is robust and secure. You will find yourself able to face any challenge without worry or stress, regardless of your circumstances and environment!

lead me to the cross.

You know i was listening to this song by brooke fraser and i realised something most times we forget how this whole **perfect christian life** (i.e rightoeusness) came about, it was because of Jesus , it was because of the exchange that happened at the cross where he traded his righteousness for our sins , where he traded our poverty for his riches, where he traded our pain and sorrow for his joy , where he traded our hate for his love, and then he said ""it is finished"" ALL THIS AT THE CROSS.

    We should take time sometimes and remember the exchange at the cross and drop all our self-centerdness in this christian race and get rid of ourselves and personal wants (phil. 2:4)for us to fully fanthom and enjoy all what happened on the cross for us to be in his heart to be his **sons** and not just his children.

PS ---> take time to medidate at his work on the cross for us.(just behold it) and trust me you'll definitely be transformed! :)
GOD BLESS!
