[Inspiration in Your Inbox]

/*The LORD turn His face toward you*/
/*and give you peace.*/
/*-- Numbers 6:26*/

What does peace mean to you?

Peace is a simple word, but it evokes in each of us a different story, a 
different search. For me, peace means I can actually relax. That may 
sound hedonistic to some, but I'll stand by that answer. For years I was 
tense day and night, waking and sleeping. Peace means I no longer shake 
when I'm sitting at a kitchen table. I'm no longer tense when I sit down 
to talk to someone. I don't feel the need to drive fast, cut off other 
drivers and get out in front. I can laugh at myself, and I'm usually 
okay even if someone else joins in the laughter. Peace means I'm not 
looking over my shoulder any more. It means that I enjoy my wife and 
kids, and things that made me blow up or sit up until three in the 
morning just aren't issues for me any more.

Peace is spreading through my soul. Yes, there is still unconquered 
territory of fear and shame -- but I've tasted what the LORD brings and 
I like it.

What about you? What is the journey into peace looking like for you?

Be encouraged!
Dwight
