Peace be to you! – Sis. Evangeline Paul Dhinakaran
“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” (John 14:27)
A huge crowd of people came to see Jesus Christ and stayed with Him for 3 days. Then the Lord was moved with compassion on them. He thought “Oh! These people have travelled long distances to see me. They must really be hungry and should not faint on their way home! Let us do something for them!” He gave them good food to eat and sent them full and satisfied. (Matthew 15:32,37). My friend! That is the same way He looks at you too! He looks at you with compassion and performs a miracle to help you out of your tough situation. So be cheerful because He is going to remove all your lack and want and fill you with health and prosperity.
I once received a letter from a sister called Regina. In that letter she wrote, “I am conceived. I am the breadwinner of my family. My husband has no job. We are a joint family. There was so much of work I had to do at home, besides the work that I do in labouring as a help in many houses. The work load had become so heavy that I could not bear its weight that at one point I left everyone at home and went off to my mother’s house. Now there is no peace in my family. Please pray that peace is restored in my family”. As soon as I saw the name ‘Regina’, I thought of my sister Regina. I began to love her like my own sister. Then I placed my hands upon the letter and pleaded unto God to give her deliverance. I prayed with a deep compassion and replied to her letter with love. After a few months I received another letter from her. She had written thus, “Sister! Even before your letter could reach me my husband came to my house and took me back to our home. Now we have a good house to stay and in it, me, my husband and my child are living happily. My husband has found a job and my child is happy and keeping good health”. What a surprise! What an amazing miracle!
My friend who is reading this message, I am sure the Lord will do this to you too. God will fill you with His peace. May there be peace within your walls and security within your citadels (Psalm 122:7). Just as the Lord desires there will be peace within the walls of your house and among your family. Whatever be the situation God will turn it around and make it peaceful. Every time Jesus met his disciples He assured them of His peace. He says even to you today, “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid” (John 14:27).
Prayer:
Loving Lord,
Thank You for promising me Your peace even today. Lord You know my situation. You alone can change it. Let Your peace rule in my heart and in my family. Let my words and deeds be full of love. Help me to spread Your peace with the people around me.
This I pray in Jesus’ name, Amen.
