Peace
Jesus offers a deep, internal, and spiritual peace that does not depend on outward circumstances or temporary fixes. Unlike worldly peace—which often means just the absence of conflict—His peace remains steady even through trials and troubles.
Peace – It is the presence of wholeness, the restoration of harmony between all things-within us, with one another, with creation, and with God. His peace is integration, of mending, of completing. We are whole, nothing lacking, nothing broken. It is about conditions; Spiritual, Physical. About welfare, prosperity, safety, health, harmony, and perfection- all at once. May you be whole. May you be as you are meant to be.
Isaiah 53:5, “He was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed” Jesus, the Prince of Peace, who restores the universe to its original harmony. He pays the debt no one could. He forgives, reconciles, and completes, in Him we see a living reality and the full force of SHALOM that is unleashed in us.
SHALOM begins deep within us where our soul collides with grace. Jesus came to reveal the Father that runs to the prodigals, who forgives seventy times seven, who lays down His own life for enemies because Jesus reconciled us to God the Father. Jesus’s divine love while we were still enemies, embraced us that we would be made whole. He did not die to change God’s heart about us. He died to change our hearts about God.
This SHALOM of the Lamb is the radical restoration.
Love always protects (1 Corinthians 13:7) when evil exists and force must be used, it is to protect the innocent, restrain chaos, to uphold justice and is the work of police officers, soldiers, and judges. The SHALOM of Jesus is about peacemaking and is born through sacrifice, humility, and love that costs everything. The cycle of retaliation died with Him on the cross. SHALOM is a way of life with joy in the Holy Spirit, the peace that changes everything; how we manage conflict, forgive, how we resist evil.
SHALOM is harmony, where He heals every fracture of our peace and we live in rhythm with our Creator. It means the Prince of Peace Reigns and our relationship has been healed through humility and trust by rejecting shame and embracing grace. Jesus said “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God. Peace, I leave with you; my peace I give you. Not as the world gives…” SHALOM is the rhythm of our breath, heart and a compass that awakens us as an ambassador that heals what is broken.
God has designed the woven tapestry of our life to be a rich expression of his love. We may see the jumbled threads that does not show His masterful design and craftsmanship that went into our creation, but as our relationship deepens with Him, we will see His hand has always been on our life that expresses His love.
Shalom
May you be as you are meant to be?
