*One of the most important variables in a man’s life is peace.*
*No wonder the quote below is so important to man :*
*John 14:27 : “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid”.*
*But contrary to the admonition above, several things are happening around us today that are threatening our peace of mind.*
*It is an established fact that nothing tangible can be achieved by anyone if the atmosphere around him or her is devoid of peace of mind.*
*Therefore, every factor that can guarantee your peace of mind should be ensured.*
*Please pay attention to the following suggestions in that regard :*
*1) A life of simplicity can be helpful in the pursuit of peace. Deliberately do not engage in complicating things around yourself. If you do, it may trigger the process that will upset your peace of mind. You must therefore learn to take things easy. No wonder, Jesus said :*
*Matthew 11: [28] Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.*
*[29]Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.*
*[30]For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.*
*2) A deliberate life of contentment Learn to be satisfied with what is yours :*
*1 Timothy 6: [6] But godliness with contentment is great gain.*
*Not only this, learn to enjoy what you have. There is no point claiming you are contented, yet you are not used to enjoying whatever is yours.*
*You can never have peace of mind if you are never satisfied with what you have. This is different from being ambitious. Ambition aims at making progress, while fully enjoying what you have. If you don’t operate like this, you will never be satisfied. Remember, man by nature is insatiable.*
*3) A life devoid of involvement in wrong things and criminal minded activities.*
*The more you get involved in unethical things, no matter the justification for such, the more you will likely lose your peace of mind.*
*To be concluded tomorrow, God willing.*
Top of the day to you 👍.
