God wants to reside within you, but for that to happen, there must be an agreement between you and God. Unfortunately, not everyone is willing to pay the price of surrender.
\n
\n <\/p>\n
The salvation of your soul is the hardest conquest on Earth because it requires renunciation, sincerity, and total surrender to God. Yet, God knows our hearts; He knows who we truly are and seeks those who are sincere, truthful, and transparent. This was the case with the Samaritan woman. When she asked the Lord Jesus for water, He revealed that He could offer her Living Water that would quench her soul’s thirst forever.

Many people search for love and peace, but to achieve peace within themselves and with others, they first need to have peace with God. One of the greatest obstacles to this is a lack of forgiveness. When you pray for someone who has wronged you and genuinely desire their salvation, you are practicing a form of love that pleases God. This is precisely what Jesus teaches: true love is not based on emotion, but on obedience.
\n
\n <\/p>\n
Therefore, don’t associate love and peace only with feelings. If you want to have true peace, speak to God right now. Say:<\/p>\n
\u201cMy God, I don\u2019t see You, I don\u2019t feel You, I do not touch You, but I believe in Your Word. I don’t have a way out. Help me.\u201d

When you come before Him with sincerity and transparency, you will notice a real difference within yourself.

When a person is at peace, they know it. The same is true of love. However, understand this: both peace and love are only possible when there is a personal experience with God.
