But the fruit of the Spirit is peace. Galatians 5:22-23
Have you ever watched a baby sleep? No cares in the world, none whatsoever. You look on her face and what do you say, “ah so peaceful.” An hour later that baby’s face could be crying and frowning and laughing with delight. The baby is no longer resting peacefully.
Now, have you ever seen a person who was at peace? You looked at his face and it was just…peaceful. I’ve seen in numerous times with a few Seniors I’ve met, both men and women. You can’t quite put a finger on why they look peaceful but they do. The world may be falling apart but you wouldn’t know it because they are at peace.
Similarly, you can also tell when a person is really struggling. Life is bogging that person down in a big way. You can see the hopelessness, the worry, the anxiety on his face.
I think most of us are in between. We’ve been that baby resting peacefully; we’ve also been that person struggling to understand life. Where are you today? What would it take to launch you into that peaceful category?
