contemplating peace.

i read something in my jesus calling devotional yesterday that i am still thinking about today: that God is constantly surrounding us in peace, whether we are aware of it or not. choosing to be in HIS presence and be close to HIM is what makes us aware of the presence of HIS peace.

what that means to me is that HIS peace does not come and go. HE does not only give me peace when i ask for it, it is a given that comes with being in HIS presence. whether or not i experience that peace is up to me. i will be aware of that peace when i am choosing to live and walk in the Spirit.
