The Blessedness of Peace
John 14:27
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you: not as the world gives, give I to you. Let not your heart be troubled…


A lady who passed through the terrors of the Vicksburg siege wrote the night after the surrender: "It is evening. All is still. Silence and night are once more united. H— is leaning back in his rocking chair. He says, 'G— , it seems to me I can hear the silence and feel it too. It wraps me like a soft garment; how else can I express this peace?'"

(H. O. Mackey.)
