God is full of joy, peace, and happiness! Endeavor then to obtain a continually joyful and peaceful Spirit!

 

God is a tranquil Being, and abides in a tranquil eternity. So must thy spirit become a tranquil and clear little pool, wherein the serene light of God can be mirrored. Therefore shun all that is disquieting and distracting, both within and without. Nothing in the whole world is worth the loss of thy peace; even the faults which thou hast committed should only humble, but not disquiet thee. God is full of joy, peace, and happiness. Endeavor then to obtain a continually joyful and peaceful spirit. Avoid all anxious care, vexation, murmuring, and melancholy, which darken thy soul, and render thee unfit for the friendship of God. If thou dost perceive such feelings arising, turn gently away from them. 

—G. Tersteegen

Yes, God is full of joy, peace, and happiness! Endeavor then to obtain a continually joyful and peaceful spirit! That is what we must do! To live in Spirit! To have Jesus Christ in our hearts and live like Him! This can give us peace! It is all about peace! When we follow Jesus, when we reflect, forgive, imitate, and love like Him, with our faith in Him, we are promised life eternal in Heaven with Jesus! What a blessing from God! What a miracle from God! Stop sinning, stop hating, stop using violence, envy, jealousy, and insecurity to rule you, follow Jesus, be like Him! Know peace. Like they old saying says, no God, no peace, Know God, Know peace!
