Peace.


Right now, I'm going through a season of blue skies, good health, blessed with a good education, lovely friends and family. Yes, I might not know much of tremendous stress and anxiety others are facing. But recently, I've been reflecting on my school work, what I've acheived thus far and the overwhelming reality of entering the working world. I can't help but feel afraid of what is to come, and feel uncertain of my future. My 2 applications for internships are still pending. The sickening realisation that I might have nothing significant to show for. I need the peace to be assured that all things will work out for me.

And I found my answer in this simple bible verse in an email I read,

Jesus says,
"Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you" (John 14:27).

What is this peace?
This peace isnt the so-called peace given by a numb and zone-ed out society, definitely not the temporary peace of the rich and famous who try to purchase peace of mind with material things.
No, this peace is here to stay, it is for all eternity. This is the very peace of Christ himself, a peace that surpasses all human understanding.

God really amazes me with what He has in store for me. He never fails to encourage me and allay my worries during times when I feel lost and helpless. And I'm thankful for that simple email that renewed my hope and confidence that this term will be another good one and my internship application will be safe in His hands. All things will work out for good!

When in dire times of turmoil, and when your discouraged heart tells you, you are not good enough, and when you feel like, I'm not gonna make it, remember Jesus says, "I know what you're going through. Come and drink of my peace." Rest assured, You can make it! =)


yay! I'm going to get my internship! No worries =)
