I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Romans 15:13 NLT
Joy and peace are highly sought after, and seldom found. We equate joy with getting what we want, not what we need. Whereas, joy, real joy is found in a relationship with Jesus. He is consistent, faithful and loving. He will tell us the truth, even if it is hard, in a loving way.
Peace is not found in running away to a forest or an island, although they help, true peace is found in relationship with Jesus, and allowing Him to be Lord. We are not the boss of this relationship, we are the servant, the receiver by allowing Him to lead.
So,both joy and peace are found in Jesus, not bottles of wine or pills or a one night stand. They are found in a divine relationship. Amen!
