Dear Young Christian:

I want to pass along a quote that I read today from a writer who lived many years ago. His name was Charles Henry Mackintosh (October 1820 – November 1896).

“The secret of peace is more than knowing that our sins
are forgiven. It is having the person of a risen Christ
before our souls, having our hearts engaged with the
One who has done it all, and gazing by faith upon the
marks of His accomplished work. This is peace for the
inner life.”

This is really something to think about. This is a peace that the world does not and cannot understand. It is that which will keep us calm and trusting, even in the midst of adversity. “And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:7). Do you enjoy this daily peace? We are told, “Let the peace of God rule in your hearts” (Colossians 3:15).

 Your Christian Friend,

 Jim Hyland
