Peace

Galatians 1:3
”Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.”

***

Yesterday during yet another sermon on the book of John (three years in… only on chapter 17. yeah. mm.), I read Galatians. Yes, the whole book, and it was amazing.

There’s just something about concentrating so hard to focus on reading the Bible and blocking out absolutely everything else. It was very encouraging.

But just as I was starting, a couple words popped out at me.
Grace.
and Peace.
And being the geek that I am, I looked up the definitions of these words in the back of my Bible.

GRACE: an undeserved gift…

PEACE: freedom… from disturbance. from worry. from stress. from the world.

Grace, I’m thankful for. Peace, I yearn for…
