Jesus give up His own will, to do the will of God. He proved His Love for God, and for us, by putting our good above His own. He died for us to give us His Peace. It was the first thing He said after His resurrection, that I give you My peace…
Isaiah 32:17 The fruit of righteousness will be peace, the effect of righteousness will be quietness and confidence forever.
HIS fruit – is His peace. – Given to us so that we can confidently Trust His love. He quiets our anxious hearts. He died to give His Peace to us, think of that. … which leads me to ask myself, ‘What have I done for someone else today to put their good above my own?’ ‘Will I live my life to honor God like He did?’ There is no shortcut – I need to Trust Jesus’ example. That is true love.
oh help me Lord in my disobedient, self directed heart….
