calm assurance
photo by Ron Warner
“True spiritual peace is completely different
from the superficial, ephemeral, fragile human peace.
It is the deep, settled confidence
that all is well between the soul and God
because of His loving, sovereign control
of one’s life both in time and eternity.
That calm assurance is based on the knowledge
that sins are forgiven, blessing is present,
good is abundant even in trouble, and heaven is ahead.
The peace that God gives His beloved children
as their possession and privilege
has nothing to do with the circumstances of life.”
- John MacArthur
