"Now assurance goes far to set a child of God free from this painful
kind of bondage (doubts and fears), and thus ministers mightily to his comfort.
It enables him to feel that the great business of life is a settled business,
the great debt a paid debt, the great disease a healed disease,
and the great work a finished work; and all other business,
diseases, debts and work are then by comparison small.
In this way assurance makes him patient in tribulation,
calm under bereavements, unmoved in sorrow, not afraid of evil tidings,
in every condition content, for it gives him a fixedness of heart.
it smooths the rough places over which he travels;
it lightens the valley of the shadow of death.
It makes him always feel that he has something solid beneath
his feet and something firm under his hands --
a sure friend by the way, and a sure home at the end."
Quoted from "Holiness" by J. C. Ryle pages 107-08
It is so true that the more sure we are of where stand with the Lord,
the more settled we will be in all of life's circumstances and situations.
We cannot have lasting peace until we have peace with God.
The only way to have peace with God is through the Lord Jesus Christ.
Have you found peace in Him?
If not, run to Him today. He is faithful to save
all those who come to Him for deliverance from sin.

Wonderful post, Camille. Hope you are having a wonderful start to a new school year.
Wonderful, wonderful post. On Christ the Solid Rock, I stand all other ground is sinking sand. His peace is what we must cling to throughout the trials of life. And while that sounds so easy, it is hard to do. We as humans want to try to control everything (or maybe just I try to control everything) and letting go and letting God be God is difficult. But when we truly do that, when we truly can say "Your will be done," oh the joy and peace He gives. Blessings to you my beautiful friend in Christ. May He send you His peace, today and every day.
Carrie ~ Thank you so much, my friend! Our year is off to a good beginning. I trust you are settling in more and more each week? Big hugs to you. :)
