June 19, 2017 www.PositiveChristianity.org presents Positive Daily Inspiration THE BEST PICTURE OF PEACE “Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts." Colossians 3:15 There once was a King who offered a prize to the artist who would paint the best picture of peace. Many artists tried. The King looked at all the pictures, but there were only two he really liked and he had to choose between them. One picture was of a calm lake. The lake was a perfect mirror, for peaceful towering mountains were all around it. Overhead was a blue sky with fluffy white clouds. All who saw this picture thought it was a perfect picture of peace. The other picture had mountains, too. But these were rugged and bare. Above was an angry sky from which rain fell, and in which lightening played. Down the side of the mountain tumbled a foaming waterfall. This did not look peaceful at all. But when the King looked, he saw behind the waterfall a tiny bush growing in a crack in the rock. In the bush, a mother bird had built her nest. There, in the midst of the rush of angry water, sat the mother bird on her nest. The King chose the second picture as the winner. "Because," explained the King, "Peace does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. Peace means to be in the midst of all those things and still be calm in your heart." "That is the real meaning of peace." If there is ever a time for peace it is now. Enter into the spirit by letting the peace of Christ reigning your mind, your heart, and your life. Accept the gift of Christ peace. Remember the promise, "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you." Christ brings peace to the world; He brings peace to your world. The government of the world is upon His shoulders; the government of your world is upon His shoulders. Christ comes forth through you and through every person who opens themselves to Him. Christ is come forth, is reborn in your life as peace. Where there is discord, Christ brings harmony; where there is confusion, Christ brings order; where there is tension, Christ brings release. Christ is your peace right now. POSITIVE DAILY PRAYER: Dear God, deep at the center of my being there is a place of absolute stillness, of infinite calm. I rest there now in prayer. No matter how tumultuous my thoughts may be, this place of prayer remains quiet, serene and undisturbed. In prayer I return. I gather my wandering, restless, disturbed thoughts to this inner place of peace and stillness. I rest in the Lord. I allow Christ to bless me as I become still in God's presence. I accept peace. In Jesus Christ's name... Amen POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION: I feel the benediction of Christ peace. POSITIVE DAILY QUOTE: “Spirituality is the depth of your bliss in the midst of your problem.” Rev.
