peace

“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
