The peace of Christ comes as a result of your choosing Him…He wants you by loving His will, to want what is best for you. Christ does not need anything for Himself. If he does want something from you, then it is always that which is best for you. He wants to love you and wants you to accept His desire which is His love…Christ is someone who expects something from you. Primarily, His is the Will which reveals Itself to us. To believe and love Christ is to love what He wants; that is, to love His will. We are to chose Him in this very way; loving that what He loves. It is only loving the will of Christ confirmed by our choices during trials of faith, that brings us peace and true happiness which no one can take away from us. (Gift of Faith)
