Good morning…
I happened upon a book and felt drawn to a handful of words.

Excerpt from Poems from the Thin Places by Monica R. Lavia
“My peace I give you,” said Jesus.
I want that.
Not the kind of peace that is the opposite of war, but the kind of peace that is the opposite of fear.
The kind of peace that would allow me to let go of things like old grudges, my need to be right, needless worry, that stuff.
Peace that would let me shut my head off at night and rest.

In John 14:27a (CEV) Jesus says, “I give you peace, the kind of peace only I can give.”
I want that.
I quietly request, “Lord, please infuse me with your peace.” And God’s peace, which is far beyond human understanding, will keep your hearts and minds safe in union with Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7, GNT).
