Jesus said, “I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid” (John 14:27 NLT).
Jesus gives us peace within our hearts and it overflows into our lives. It is contagious and others can catch it. The Bible speaks of the “peace that passes all understanding.” That kind of peace can take the place of depression. worry, sadness, the blues, despair and despondency.
Yes, Jesus whispers sweet peace to his children.
I love this old song presented in a beautiful way:
HE WHISPERS SWEET PEACE TO ME
Words & Music by Will M Ramsey
Sometimes when misgivings darken my way,
And faith’s light I just can not see;
Then I asked the dear Lord,
“Please brighten my way”,
He whispers sweet peace to me.
Chorus:
He whispers sweet peace to me,
He whispers sweet peace to me,
When I am cast down in spirit and soul,
He whispers sweet peace to me.
I could not go on without Him I know,
The world would o’erwhelm my soul;
For I could not see the right way to go,
When temptations o’er me roll.
Chorus
I trust Him through faith, by faith hold His hand,
And sometimes my faith is weak,
And then when I ask Him to take command,
It seems that I hear Him speak,
Chorus
He speaks in a still, small voice we are told,
A voice that dispels all fear;
And when I’m in doubt, or troubled in soul,
That still small voice I can hear.
Chorus
When I am cast down in spirit and soul,
He whispers sweet peace to me.
