The Fruit of Peace
Everybody wants peace. Inner peace. Peace of mind. Peaceful feelings. Peace on Earth. It doesn’t come from clearing your mind and doing all this mumbo jumbo you hear in the world today.

We would have the fruit of the Spirit…love, joy, peace…we would remember the hope that is in us.

God gave us a gift, not only in the life to come but in the life we have now.
