“God can’t give us happiness & peace apart from Himself because it is not there. There is no such thing.” -C.S. Lewis I just love this quote so much, it really resonated with me and my season of life. Really, all seasons of life. In the last year, I have really felt the need to be way more intentional about living in exactly the center of God’s will. Still not there completely yet, but I have so much more peace today than I had even 6 months ago. Really reminds me of something Jesus said…
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. (John 14:27)
Yup, this is one verse I need to hang onto and make my own. It’s so easy to be troubled, afraid and not have Jesus’ peace. But the work of fighting what’s easy is so much worth it.
