Puzzled by the Missing Pieces of Peace
Most adults have a dream
from childhood that their lives are meant to be lived happily ever after – not
just ever after. However, in the reality of adulthood, many find their lives
are puzzles with a lot of pieces that they feel must be put together to find
that dream. Many adults find there seems to be something missing from their
lives to bring true happiness and peace. The truth is there is a peace that
comes only from God who puts all the pieces together to make our lives what
they are supposed to be. There are missing pieces of peace that we find only
through Christ. To have peace of mind about our image we must know we were made
in the image of God. To have peace of mind about our thoughts and actions we
must learn God will keep us in perfect peace if we keep our mind on Him. Jesus,
the Prince of Peace, said, "My peace I leave with you, my peace I
give." When we accept the peace He gives, we have true peace. In the
middle of all the puzzling storms of life, He gives peace. In our search for
the missing pieces of peace we must realize that people can help put us
together, but they can also help pull us apart. We must learn to differentiate
from Godly peace and the peace the world offers. God can keep us together. “All
things work together for the good for those who love Him.”
