Inner Peace

For so long I have been searching for that inner joy & peace I once had. I use to smile ALL the time and my customer's would ask me why...... I lost that but I'm so excited with this new journey because I really feel like God is re-teaching me and helping me get on that right path again!!
You see, my friends, I stopped seeking God. I stopped living a righteous life and this is how I know I have:


Matthew 6:33
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

I have heard this verse over and over and I have sung this verse over and over especially in Sunday School but today it truly has shed new light for me. To be happy & content with life we need to live a peaceful life and know who we are in Christ. So how do we do that?

Luke 17:21

Amplified Bible (AMP)

²¹Nor will people say, Look! Here [it is]! or, See, [it is] there! For behold, the kingdom of God is within you [in your hearts] and among you [surrounding you].

1. Ask God to come into your heart

If you have accepted Jesus into your heart to live the "kingdom" is in you, my friend. The kingdom of God is living in you and He wants you to live in a peaceful house.

Romans 14:17

Amplified Bible (AMP)

¹⁷[After all] the kingdom of God is not a matter of [getting the] food and drink [one likes], but instead it is righteousness (that state which makes a person acceptable to God) and [heart] peace and joy in the Holy Spirit

2. Live a righteous life pleasing to God

The definition of righteous is 'acting in an upright, moral way'. Stop chasing after worldly things! Stop trying to fit in because you were born to stand out!!

If you figure out who you are in Christ & start walking in righteousness you will stop caring what others think because all that will matter to you is doing your best for God.

~When you seek God He will give you peace~
