Peace, Promised To Believers: Peace At The Center
A reporter asked the late President Herbert Hoover, "Mr.
President, how do you handle criticism? Do you ever get
agitated or tense?" "No," President Hoover said, seemingly
surprised at the question, "of course not." "But," the
reporter went on, "when I was a boy you were one of the most
popular men in the world. Then, for a while you became one of
the most unpopular, with nearly everyone against you. Didn't any of
this meanness and criticism ever get under your skin?" "No, I knew
when I went into politics what I might expect, so
when it came I wasn't disappointed or upset," he said. He
lowered his familiar bushy eyebrows and looked directly into the
reporter's eyes. "Besides, I have 'peace at the center,' you know," he
added. Inner peace comes from looking to God, our source. Peace is
the gift of Jesus Christ. Jesus, before
leaving His disciples, said, "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give
to you". (\reference{John 14:27}{John 14:27})
