DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mary Wilder Tileston preaches about true peace being found when the soul
revolves around its center, Almighty God, craving only what God
supplies, with passions subdued and in harmony with God and His laws.
The soul, made for God, must find its rest in Him alone, as nothing else
can satisfy its yearning for its Maker. Those who receive Him in
peaceful trust will experience His dwelling in love and joy, leading to
great rest and blessedness.

Behold, I will reveal unto them the abundance of peace and truth.

JEREMIAH 33:6

Glory, honor, and peace, to every man that work-eth good.

ROMANS 2:10

TRUE peace is when the soul revolves around its centre, Almighty God,
craving for nothing but what God continually supplies, its passions
subdued to it-self, itself lovingly loyal to God, in harmony with its
God and His laws. God made the soul for Himself, to have its bliss in
His infinite, unchanging, exhaust-less love. The soul then "must needs
be restless, until it repose in Him." Everything, whether it belongs to
the keenest intellect, or the lowest senses, is an idol if the soul
rests in it, apart from God. The soul's craving for peace is its natural
yearning for its End, its Maker and its God. Since the soul is large
enough to contain the infinite God, nothing less than Himself can
satisfy or fill it.

E. B. PUSEY

With those who have made ready to receive Him in peaceful trust, He will
come and dwell in love and joy; and great is their rest and blessedness.
