Most people long for peace of mind and heart. Life with God in recovery provides many tools which help satisfy this deep longing within us. Jesus willingly died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins. When we know we are free from all condemnation, peace will fill our hearts.
Knowing and trusting in God’s Word is an amazing source of comfort that quiets our souls. When we become children of God, the Holy Spirit comes to live within us and will guide us into all truth. As we follow God's principles in all our affairs, we will experience great peace and nothing will cause us to stumble.
God wants us to be at peace rather than harassed by bitterness and resentment. Not only can we experience the peace that results from God’s forgiveness for our failures, but we can know even greater peace when we choose to forgive those who have wronged us.
Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior. Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you. (Ephesians 4:31-32 NLT)
Applying God’s principles to our thoughts and actions will bring us the forgiveness, healing, and peace we desire.
Prayer: Gracious God, Thank You that Jesus’ death on the cross brought me forgiveness and healing. Help me to forgive those who have harmed me so that I may live in peace and blessing. May my offenders also come to know the power of the cross of Jesus. Amen
