“When Jesus went to his disciples on the evening of his resurrection, the first thing he said to them was, “Peace be with you.” That has not changed. When you are in the presence of God, you are in a place of peace. Peace comes from the presence of someone who made you in love and keeps you in grace, someone you can count on to be with you in all things. When you are in God’s presence, you are with one who knows you better than anyone does and who wants you to have the best life has to offer. In such a presence you have an inner calm that exceeds human understanding and measurement.”

“True happiness has less to do with outward circumstances than with inward, and more to do with inward harmony than with outward. True happiness is being anchored to your Creator, who knows you better than you know yourself. True happiness isn’t dependent on another person. It isn’t dangling out of your reach or hiding deep underground. True happiness can be found in the ordinary activities of your life. You need only look inward and upward.”
