God's Peace

Verse: John 14:27

"I'm leaving you well and whole. That's my parting gift to you. Peace. I don't leave you the way you're used to being left—feeling abandoned, bereft. So don't be upset. Don't be distraught."

Reflection

Jesus offers a peace that the world cannot provide or take away. His peace is not dependent on perfect circumstances but on His constant presence and faithful promises. Even when life feels uncertain or overwhelming, we can rest in the assurance that we are never abandoned.
