One of the biggest mercies in a believer’s life is that whatever trial or question arises, the answer is always Christ and his invitation to “come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” By yoking with him, we find rest for our souls. (Matthew 11)
Peace, Perfect Peace by Edward H. Bickersteth, Jr. 1875
-
Peace, perfect peace, in this dark world of sin?
The blood of Jesus whispers peace within. -
Peace, perfect peace, by thronging duties pressed?
To do the will of Jesus, this is rest. -
Peace, perfect peace, with sorrows surging round?
On Jesus’ bosom naught but calm is found. -
Peace, perfect peace, ’mid suffering’s sharpest throes?
The sympathy of Jesus breathes repose. -
Peace, perfect peace, with loved ones far away?
In Jesus’ keeping we are safe, and they. -
Peace, perfect peace, our future all unknown?
Jesus we know, and He is on the throne. -
Peace, perfect peace, death shad’wing us and ours?
Jesus has vanquished death and all its pow’rs. -
It is enough: earth’s struggles soon shall cease,
And Jesus calls us to Heav’n’s perfect peace.
Isaiah 26:3 You keep him in perfect peace
whose mind is stayed on you,
because he trusts in you.
John 14:27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.
