John 16:33 - Genuine Peace Is Found In A Relationship With Jesus!

John 16:33 (NIV) I have told you these 
things, so that in me you may have peace. In this 
world you will have trouble. But take heart! I 
have overcome the world.  

COMMENTARY PEARL

   My discomfort in life is magnified when I 
think that I shouldnt have certain struggles 
because Im a Christian. An unexpected household 
expense sends me reeling with financial anxiety. My 
husbands grumpiness triggers the martyr in me. I 
scream at my kids over something trivial. Wont I 
ever change? Even that thought is extreme.  
   The reality is, Jesus Himself told us 
wed have problems (John 16:33), but the sweet 
luxury we have as Christians is to choose to bring 
all our feelings to Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5). 
We Christians have the same problems as 
everyone else, but the solution is different: Jesus. 
With Jesus we can focus on the fact that we have 
His mind (1 Corinthians 2:16) and His power, 
love, and self-control (2 Timothy 1:7). Through 
praise, prayer, and gratitude, we can enjoy rest and 
peace (Philippians 4:6"7).  
   Sometimes I remain still enough to tune 
into the reality that in Jesus, Im safe and 
secure. I admit that I often find that peace only 
when Ive reached the end of my rope and my way 
isnt working. In that moment of failure or 
disappointment, Jesus is there, as He always is. When Im 
in Christ, I realize the work has already been 
done. I dont have to be afraid. Jesus has 
overcome the world. I can take heart, find rest, and 
receive all I need from Him. by Isabella Yosuico  
   Faith Step: Today, choose to focus on 
Jesus and His completed work. Receive the grace 
that you so desperately need and want. [Mornings
