Perfect Peace

Peace Be Yours III

By Dr. Robert Schuller

"God will keep you in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Him, because you trust in the Lord forever."-Isaiah 26:3


I discovered the secret to peace of mind years ago as I was returning from a special mission in Korea. On the way home, I stopped in Hawaii and there I saw a beautiful sculptured statue of Jesus Christ returning to the sheepfold carrying the lamb that had been lost.

Jesus' weary expression confirmed my belief that He had spent long hours walking up and down the steep slopes, through crevices and canyons, until He finally found the lost sheep.

What struck me particularly about the statue was the peaceful appearance of the lamb as it seemed to curl itself around the neck of the Good Shepherd. The two front feet were folded gently, the one relaxed across the other. You could almost sense the feeling that perhaps the baby lamb was still trembling a little and his tiny body was still damp and cold. But as he relaxed on the shoulder of Jesus, he was warming up and a sense of calmness and security swept over him.

He was safe on the shoulder of the good Shepherd. He was lost, but now he'd been found. What peace flooded his being. He had been saved!

The secret of real peace of mind is to be found in Jesus; born anew through His Spirit, and trusting your future to Him! Jesus Christ is my source of true PEACE.

As I turn my attention to Jesus my
Savior, I can feel tension and anxiety
slipping away and a strong awareness
of peace flood my being!
