The Race- Part 5

Galatians 5:22a- And the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace...

     This Bible verse is showing you step five- Peace.

     Everyone wants peace. Peace is peace. Why people want peace is because it gives you comfort. When we don't have peace, everything seems to go wrong. We start to worry, have anxiety, have a bad attitude about everything, and we are always mean and grumpy. These are the signs of when you need peace. 

     I can admit that I do need peace too. I tend to worry, have anxiety, have a bad attitude, and act mean and grumpy sometimes. Aren't those the five things that I named that happen when you need peace?

     Jesus is another great example of why we need peace.

     When God told Jesus that he was going to die on the cross for our sins, did Jesus start worrying? No! Jesus accepted it and had peace over it.

     There are so many things in this world today that are going on, we think that there is no hope left. We start to worry and think that God has forgotten us and we think that we can't have peace. That's wrong. God has not forgotten us and he never will.

     We should have peace in knowing that God will never leave you no matter what's going on.
