We have a lovely large painting of pale pink roses my husband's grandmother had. Every time I look at it, it gives me such a feeling of peace. Was the artist that calm when she painted it? Something tangible almost seems to come through her work.
It always calls to thought words of our Master, Christ Jesus who said: "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you." How many times in my life, when troubles would have overwhelmed me and taken my peace of mind, has this eternal promise lifted me right up and restored my sense of joy and well-being.
How can we ever thank God enough for giving us His Son, the Prince of Peace!
