"Research has shown that the average inheritance in the United States is between ,000 and 3,000. And research also shows that this inheritance is typically depleted in five years. With the money they inherit, people pay off their debts, plan for their future, and splurge on something for themselves.
When Jesus was resurrected and returned to Heaven, He left an inheritance for his followers … one that many have not claimed
John 14:27 says, "Peace I leave with you…" Peace is our inheritance that Jesus left for us. It cannot be taken away from us, but we must accept it in order to enjoy its benefits. Yet even when we experience peace, our problems and difficulties don't disappear." |

This authentic peace is entirely different from what the world considers to be peace. We don't have to live upset and worried--we can live in a place of rest. Whenever we feel overwhelmed or stressed out, we can ask God to calm our spirit and help us trust in Him.
Sometimes things happen that are scary and fill us with fear, but we can choose to live in God's peace and rebuke fear from having a place in our lives. He can bless us in the middle of every storm, and we can know that God will never leave us.
Often, we keep ourselves from experiencing God's peace because we haven't taken the time to present our burdens to Him. When we cast our cares upon Him, He will speak to our hearts and remind us in our spirit, "Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."
