A Picture of Peace

There once was a contest for the painting that best portrayed peace. The winning painting was of a raging storm. You could almost hear the howling wind and feel the driving rain. The sky was dark and ominous. But if you looked closely, there in the midst of the storm, a bird was sitting on a nest in a crevice of a cliff. The little bird was completely at peace.

The point of the painting was simple?peace isn’t the absence of problems; it’s calm in the middle of the storm.

Peace is available to all of us. Jesus said, “Peace I leave with you… Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” If we miss this point, we’re doomed to a lifetime of turmoil, for in this life we will never escape the storms. But through Jesus, peace can be ours in the middle of the storm.
