Experience God...Experience Peace!
I believe greatly in spending time with the Lord because only through fellowship with God can we experience the love and peace in this life.
The Bible declares in Isaiah 26:3 “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee.”
If life is getting overwhelming and you don't know what to do; go to the One who holds the universe in the palm of His hand and you will find the peace that surpasses all understanding.

In an ancient temple, a number of pigeons lived happily on roof top. When the renovation of the temple began for the annual temple feast the pigeons relocated themselves to a Church nearby. The existing pigeons in the Church accommodated the new comers very well.
Christmas was nearing and the Church was given a facelift. All the pigeons to move out and look for another place. They were fortunate to find a place in a Mosque nearby. The pigeons in the Mosque welcomed them happily.
It was Ramadan time and the Mosque was repainted. All the pigeons now came to the same ancient temple.
One day the pigeons on top found some communal clashes below in a market square. Who are these people".
The mother replied; they are "Human beings".
The baby asked, "but why are they fighting with each other".
The mother said "These human beings going to temple are called 'Hindus' and the people going to Church are called 'Christians' and the people going to Mosque are called 'Muslims'.
The Baby pigeon asked, "why is it so? Look, when we were in the Temple we were called Pigeons, when we were in the church we were called Pigeons and when we were in the Mosque, we were called Pigeons. Similarly, they should be called just Human beings' wherever they go".
The mother Pigeon said, 'You and me and our Pigeon friends have experienced God and that's why we are living here in a highly elevated place peacefully. These people are yet to experience God and therefore are killing each other".

This is a good story, although not true, that shows how happiness does not pertain to where we live, but rather who we are on the inside is what gives someone peace, happiness and contentment.
The below scriptures make it very clear:
Romans 12:14-21, “Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited.
Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord. On the contrary: “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.” Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.”
“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.” – Matthew 5:9.
Stay Blessed!
