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)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\nJoni 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<\/em> her husband. She wrote, \u2018Only in acceptance lies peace\u2026not in resignation.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\nAuthor Creath Davis points out a big difference between the two: \u2018Resignation<\/em> is surrender to fate. Acceptance<\/em> is surrender to God.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSo, Resignation<\/em> lies down quietly in an empty universe, whereas Acceptance<\/em> rises up to meet the GOD who fills that universe with purpose and destiny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\nResignation<\/em> says, \u2018I can\u2019t.\u2019 Acceptance<\/em> says, \u2018but GOD can.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\nResignation<\/em> says, 'GOD has let you down, let's walk away'. Acceptance<\/em> says, 'move closer to GOD during the bad times and let His Presence comfort you.'<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\nResignation<\/em> says, \u2018It\u2019s all over for me.\u2019 Acceptance<\/em> says, \u2018Now that I\u2019m here, what\u2019s next, Lord?\u2019<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\nResignation<\/em> says, \u2018What a waste.\u2019 Acceptance<\/em> says, \u2018In what redemptive way will you use this mess, Lord?\u2019<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\nResignation<\/em> says, \u2018I\u2019m alone.\u2019 Acceptance<\/em> says, \u2018I'm not alone because You are constantly with me, Lord.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\nAre your ears awake? Listen. Listen to the Wind Words, the Spirit blowing through the churches. Christ-conquerors are safe from Devil-death.\u201d (Rev 2:11) ![\"\u2764\ufe0f\"](\"https:\/\/static.xx.fbcdn.net\/images\/emoji.php\/v9\/ted\/2\/16\/2764.png\")
