The peace the world gives is only a surety for your devotion; once it gives you the feeling or result you think you want or need, it comes to take that peace back and you are left with an empty and quickly fading satisfaction, devoid of any peace.
The world only loans its peace, and always for a price; God gives His peace freely as we walk with Him, and left it for us to rest and find comfort in.
"I will forget who I am for who You are
'Cause the truth is all my worth can only be found in Your scars."
One of the biggest lies of the culture you can buy into as a Christian (yes, even "church culture" pushes it, unfortunately) is this idea that "you are enough"
I talk about it a lot and some of you are probably tired of it, but some of you are also probably tired - more than you would readily admit - of the emptiness that comes with being "enough".
Being "enough" was never an expectation or responsibility placed on you by God; you accepted it from the culture, but you can let go of it today. HIS yoke is easy and His burden is light (and being enough is no light burden.) He calls us spread the Gospel, to be set apart, to be holy as He is holy - ongoing things that require His wisdom, grace, and strength (because - you guessed it - we're not enough to achieve them on our own.)
The only "enough" you are is enough of a sinner to need a saviour...
Jesus is that Saviour.
HE is enough, (what a reassuring reality) and that should be more than enough for you.
