Quotes 12.…“A place where there isn't any trouble. Do you suppose there is such a place, Toto? There must be. It's not a place you can get to by a boat or a train. It's far, far away. Behind the moon, beyond the rain…”

Have you ever been in such a place? Ever longed for such a place?

I tried for years to make such a place. Didn’t happen.

I find my mind going to the old hymns….

“Peace, perfect peace, in this dark world of sin? The blood of Jesus whispers peace within….”

“When peace, like a river, attendeth my way, when sorrows like sea billows roll;
whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say, It is well, it is well with my soul.”

“The winds and the waves shall obey Thy will, peace be still.
Whether the wrath of the storm-tossed sea, or demons, or men, or whatever it be.
No water can swallow the ship where lies, the Master of ocean and earth and skies;
they shall sweetly obey Thy will, peace be still, peace be still.”

I do long for a place where there is no trouble. No global trouble, national or international… political, cultural….personal.

“Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow, blessings all mine, with then thousand, ten thousand beside….” Great is His faithfulness.

There is peace for our now and for all of eternity for those who have The Holy Spirit of God dwelling within.


We all have eternity in our hearts. Will your eternity be one of peace?

No need to search for peace over the rainbow, no need to try to orchestrate it for yourself, you can’t.

Jesus Christ says “I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with Me”

He is waiting. Let Him in….“and the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds…” (Phillipians 4:7)
