Christian peace is the calm of the heart which is not dependent on any circumstances, and which no circumstances, however full of danger or alarm, can break. Its secret is, perfect trust in God. The lesson of peace is one that has to be learned in the school of life. It is not gotten by the changing of life’s conditions, so as to hide one away beyond the reach of storm. Nor is it gained through the deadening of the feelings and sensibilities, so that life’s pains and trials will no longer hurt the heart. This would be paying too great a price even for peace. It is a fruit of the Holy Spirit. It comes through the encircling of the life with God’s own peace. “The peace of God shall guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus.”
