Peace I Leave With You - John 14:27 & 16:33

"Peace I leave with you;
My peace I give to you
I do not give to you as the world gives
Do not let your hearts be troubled
and not be afraid

In the world you will have trouble.
But take heart! I have overcome the world.
As the waves before you gently move the sand
so do I gently lead you.

Be not troubled by others' opinion of you
for, as I remind you today,
actions of love done to others for Me,
in faithfulness and total dependence on Me,
are marks of being in My will

Rejoice in Me, My Beloved, My love
Not in the ministry

Much as I am determined to grant you joy,
So, be determined to rejoice in Me!
I will not let anyone spoil that joy;
Hence, let not false guilt cloud My joy in you."
