Having come from a slightly messed up childhood, I was always searching for peace in my life. I remember watching the 70's Television program Kung-Fu featuring David Carradine, and thinking to myself how much inner peace he seemed to demonstrate. I figured that the Buddhist monks must have found the secret to having peace, but I was wrong. I searched other world religions and found nothing but empty promises. So then I looked towards money, surely I would find peace if I made more money. But money wasn't the answer either, as a matter of fact, in some instances it only made things worse. Then I turned my attention to accumulating knowledge, after all, if I was smart enough then I could figure out why I had no peace and where I could get it. So, after acquiring several degrees I still hadn't found peace. Peace wasn't to be found in relationships, food, drugs or alcohol. When I came to Jesus Christ by an act of faith, and experienced the great love that He had for me, He gave me the gift of His Holy Spirit which produced in me the fruit of the Spirit which in turn provided the peace of God that is beyond human understanding--- the peace that I had been so desperately longing for. Now, God's presence fills my heart and mind with peace, bringing into perspective all that I'll ever need--- Him, my Heavenly Father.
God's blessings to you beloved!
