I Found What I was Looking For!
I Found What I was Looking For!
A few months ago I lost my wallet…
I searched everywhere but I couldn’t find it…
I felt lost..
My Id Was gone
My debit cards gone
Have you ever lost something that was important to you but you couldn’t find it!
You begin to stress and worry
You begin to have different types of anxieties
But the peace that comes over you when you find it, is a breathe of fresh air.
In John chapter 14 Jesus is preparing His disciples for His departure
“I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.
He reassures them that they are not orphans.
“These things I have spoken to you while I am still with you. But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.
Jesus understood the emotional roller coaster they were feeling.
Jesus knew that He had to calm their emotional storm!
“Peace I leave with you”
“My peace I give you”
The peace is not as the world gives - temporary satisfaction
Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid…
Clayton Family, I know we have lost our mother!
Mother Clayton was a strong pillar
A woman of faith and strengthen
So many emotions that you may be dealing with
Ley not your hearts be troubled
I believe you have found what you been looking for…
God’s peace… Is exactly what I need
The reason why I have peace because I have the God of peace living in me..
You heard me say to you, ‘I am going away, and I will come to you.’ If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I.
The reason why I’m glad I have peace because I can rest in knowing that Jesus is with the Father
But.....
But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep.
I have peace because I know that one day!
Mother Clayton that has fallen asleep
Through Jesus, God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep!
Paul tell them you can grieve but we don’t grieve as others do who have no hope!
Through everything you may have been going through!
You found what you were looking for!!! Peace
