My inner peace comes from Christ Jesus.

Inner peace-when drilling

Chess I already gave u my answer but seems like it passed you.
So here is what.My peace is from Christ.
Not club,alcohol,yoga,fashion,job,relationships,family or friends.
They (family, job, relationships)matter A LOT, but without inner peace, I cannot sustain a good relationship anywhere and with anybody.
How do I know I have inner peace?
I mentioned earlier that peace is not the absence of war.It's the ability to weather storms and stay calm all through.
The peace within does not react to external forces.Come rain or sun it's there.
It radiates through you and is evident in your day to day interactions.
It ends up giving you favour among men(people) and opening doors of opportunity in the long run.

Here is what I can tell you,Peace doesn't build character, but storms do.
This is why we should always appreciate/embrace challenges, instead of running away from them.
I don't understand what it means to seek inner peace cz it just shows when storms come my way.

I hope nimekupa jibu la kutosha.

Behemoth - Fear is a tricky issue for me.I approach life in a religious view and one thing I struggle with is fear though my fear is irrational and based in sin. Let me explain, Jesus told us not to worry but Solomon told us that the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom and David that God doesn't like ignorance. That's where my journey of seeking humility started and attempting to give in to the will of God. I also see the irony in modern man. I can't remember the 'guru' who said it but he said something that resonated with me. Modern man has learnt to more or less cultivate and master his external world but we are no different than the cave man when it comes to the internal world(psychological and spiritual).Even Carl Jung(one of the founders of psychoanalyis) said the greatest threat of our time is not external but from internal.I'm of the opinion people are not conscious or fully aware as they should be.

@Essyk - I don't like assuming. Though in other posts you have expressed your stand I always feel it's better to clarify matters. Like you I can't sustain a good relationship unless my inner world is in a way 'balanced'. You say inner peace comes from being able to weather storms. I totally agree. In the sense that Jesus says that we should seek to be perfect like the Father in heaven is perfect. God exists beyond the concept of time so we should seek to be the same and act the same as time passes through good and bad times.
