Inner Peace- You already have what you seek

As the portal of this year closes and the gateway to the new year opens, some reflective points to ponder, if you wish, about nurturing your peace of mind.

“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world gives, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” John 14:27. Consider- if we have been given peace, then, like “rain that does not need watering” (Efrat Cybulkiewicz), we already have within us, the peace that we seek.
