The Path to Peace

The Path to Peace is a deepening and lasting relationship with our Lord and our Savior. Only then can you have peace. Only He can bring peace in a twinkling of a eye that calms your quivering spirit. Peace like a thawing river emerging from it’s winter sleep. Open up your spirit, mind and body and allow God to take you from the desert of worldly pleasure to an oasis of peace.

If we took a survey as to what people desire most out of life and what their hopes and dreams revolve around, the list would probably include things like good health; financial prosperity; healthy relationships; rewarding work. And who could argue with any of those things? Who wouldn’t want to be healthy and wealthy, with a great career, a loving family and friends? But there’s a more fundamental need we have; a deeper desire, and that’s the desire for personal peace. Peace of mind. Freedom from fear, worry, uncertainty, and distress. Most people, in their daily lives, are searching for peace; doing what they can to avoid the painful turbulence of life. They turn to external things to fill a void of missing peace. They indulge in behaviors that temporally satisfy them.. And they choose to enter into relationships with people hoping that they will bring peace. In other words, one of the strongest motives behind the way we live is a desire for personal peace. In general, people fail to find lasting peace because they are looking for it in the wrong place. And if your peace is built on the wrong foundation; if it’s built on the shifting winds of circumstance, it cannot last.


"Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way."
– 2 Thessalonians 3:16

Without Christ in ones life who came to give us abundant life, something will always be amiss. Spacious homes, fancy cars, big boats, designer clothes, the latest gadgets etc. cannot buy you lasting peace. There are people who have everything and nothing at all. The missing piece is peace itself. Like a puzzle with a missing piece, it is not complete until you find that one last piece. So if peace is the missing piece in your life, try getting alone with the Prince of Peace.

Whatever its ultimate cause, the Path to Peace may be found as we invite God to continue His transformational work of renewing your mind.

“Until you are at peace with who you are, you’ll never be content with what you have.”
