Advent Recovery Reflection by DW
“Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you;
Not as the world gives do I give to you.
Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”
-John 14:27
Growing up in a Christian home, didn’t work. Confiding in people I believed were good for me for healthy relationships didn’t work. Learning from peers that I thought I could trust didn’t work. Nothing worked to bring peace into my brokenness until I invited the Prince of Peace to live in me. Because of my brokenness and shortcomings, He has used those flaws to point me to Him. The Almighty Creator came into this world 2000 years ago and chose to dwell on this earth to be everything I needed. But I needed to surrender to Him and let Him in. He stands at the door and knocks, but it’s my choice to open the door and answer His call. No one else can take that step for oneself, but you. He is waiting there calling every day to lead us out of chaos and into His marvelous realm of peace. A place where He walks with us and provides comfort in any storm.
