Peace

Peace is what the Lord God calls us to walk in. Peace is what we are to give away. Peace is the state of mind we need to be in — like a flourishing shade tree with its branches stretched out wide. The tree dances in the gentle breeze, undisturbed by the busy world around it. It holds its branches up high, always giving reverence to the Lord. It welcomes those who pass by, with an invitation to rest under its shade. It does not complain when its branches break, nor does it resist change when the turbulent wind bends it towards the ground. It remains confident and secure in Jesus Christ, standing tall, contented to be where its planted, displaying massive foliage that is rich in color from plentiful rain. The tree is a symbol of the way we can be — steadfast, peaceful, and secure in God's love. For more encouragement by Lynn Zuk-Lloyd, go to www.promisegarden.com
