"Are you trying to get peace the same way the world tries to get it? The world tries to get peace by filling life with distractions, possessions, adventures, and people. They try all sorts of things as anesthesia to dull the pain of their emptiness. But the Master says, “Not as the world giveth, give I unto you.” All this self-imposed agitation—all this noise—is a sign of spiritual dysfunction and sinful responses. God-centered souls are not noisy. God-centered souls are at rest." (God is More Than Enough, Jim Berg, Pages 5-6)
Oh to be ever be resting in the promise of John 14:27 - Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
