What Does It Mean To Have Peace in Your Life?

Anthony Joseph Hopkins

      This is an essay that ask one very important question.  What does it mean to have peace in your life?  Honestly, I would like to say that I feel calm and relaxed at the moment.

 I also want to say that I do not have any resentments or angry feelings towards other people.  What is the definition of the word peace?  The definition of the word peace is freedom from disturbance; tranquility. It also means that there are no wars or disturbances.  I want to say that for me personally, I have made peace with all of my enemies.  I am the type of person who has a personal Savior named Jesus Christ. 

Next, I want to say that my life has consisted of ups and downs during the past 10 years.  It is God that is doing for me, more than I am doing for myself.  I really need everyone to please pray for me because I hear voices that are not the Holy Spirit.  It scares me at night while I am sleeping because I tend to suffer from night terrors.  I also have flashbacks about my past as well.

In Addition, I want to say that I have peace within myself.  I always share the Gospel of Peace with everyone.  I always say my prayers and read the Bible every single day.  One thing that I can say that I am guilty of is telling everyone that I will see them tomorrow.  Matthew 6:34 says Do not boast about tomorrow for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for today is its own trouble.  This means I have to say if it is the Lord’s Will, I will be able to do this or that.

Moreover, I am very content about things right now.  I might now have a lot of material possessions or wealth, but I am content with what I do have right now.  Peace means having a sense of levelness about oneself.  This also means that I am satisfied with the way things are going right now.  I want to say that my personal Savior has blessed me to live to see another birthday last week.  I accept the way things are right now.  What does it mean to have peace in your life, it is a sense of quietness and calm that I have never had before.

In Addition, I want to say that I might not have a large house of my own, but I have a modest apartment that I can call home.  I have completely submitted my will to Jesus Christ.  I cannot fail at anything because I am still blessed by the best.  I am saying this by holding back the tears because I have so much to say about Jesus Christ that I can finally feel the Holy Spirit inside of me.  The voices that I hear that are not the Holy Spirit usually come between the hours of 9:00PM-9:00AM the next day.  These voices are active right now.  My spirit that I have inside of me is the Holy Spirit.  I am at peace with myself and with God.  I am happy just to have the Holy Spirit and a sense of peace that I have never had before. 

Finally, I want to say that God and His son Jesus Christ are always in my life.  I want to say that I love all of you very much.  I enjoy having peace and quietness; in spite of the demonic spirits trying to penetrate my spirit.  I am happy right now to be a Child of the Living God.
