Stress vs. Peace

As a young adult in college, I focused on myself and my achievements, leaning on my accomplishments and many empty relationships for purpose in life.

There were times where I would be so stressed out, or disappointed by relationships, that I would find myself asking, "What is the point of all of this?"

Then there was a point when, as a now married man, rocking my newborn daughter to sleep, when the words of eternal life and peace that had been shared with me years before, now came rushing back.

Now that I have eternal life, I no longer stress or worry about the ups and downs in life.

A few years ago, I was faced with a terrible financial and job situation that could've cost me a job or left my family in financial ruin. Through the trying months of the ordeal, even as difficult as it was, I felt an overwhelming sense of calming peace in my life when it came to my job and finances.

Moreover, I had such a sense of peace that I knew that what ever circumstance I faced, I would live forever with God in Heaven.
