"Peace I leave with you; My [own] peace I now give and bequeath to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. [Stop allowing yourselves to be agitated and disturbed; and do not permit yourselves to be fearful and intimidated and cowardly and unsettled.]" (John 14:27)

Joni Erikson Tada discovered a supernatural peace when an accident confined her to a wheelchair, and Corrie Ten Boom found it in a Nazi death camp. Missionary Elisabeth Elliot found it ministering to the Indian tribe who massacred her husband. She wrote, ‘Only in acceptance lies peace…not in resignation.’

Author Creath Davis points out a big difference between the two: ‘Resignation is surrender to fate. Acceptance is surrender to God.

So, Resignation lies down quietly in an empty universe, whereas Acceptance rises up to meet the GOD who fills that universe with purpose and destiny.

Resignation says, ‘I can’t.’ Acceptance says, ‘but GOD can.’

Resignation says, 'GOD has let you down, let's walk away'. Acceptance says, 'move closer to GOD during the bad times and let His Presence comfort you.'

Resignation says, ‘It’s all over for me.’ Acceptance says, ‘Now that I’m here, what’s next, Lord?’

Resignation says, ‘What a waste.’ Acceptance says, ‘In what redemptive way will you use this mess, Lord?’

Resignation says, ‘I’m alone.’ Acceptance says, ‘I'm not alone because You are constantly with me, Lord.’

Are your ears awake? Listen. Listen to the Wind Words, the Spirit blowing through the churches. Christ-conquerors are safe from Devil-death.” (Rev 2:11) ❤️
