John 14:27 NLT
27 “I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid.
The peace God has given us is a gift and it's up to us to receive it. The way I look at this verse is similar to when someone buys you a gift, you accept it, but you never open it. So, it stays there beautifully wrapped, but you'll never know what's inside. Many of us have accepted the peace of God, but have not experienced it or chose not to use it because we have retreated to our own methods of self peace. Don't let this gift stay on the shelves of your heart collecting worry, fear of the unknown, depression, etc. Open your heart to experience something the world can't give you, peace that passes all understanding.
