Not just peace but great peace. Surely the presence of Jesus in our lives is great. Not just ordinary, but great, large, all encompassing, superior.

The breath we breathe is a work of God, our heart that pumps is a work of God, our blood that flows is a work of God, a new baby is a work of God, the new sunrise is a work of God. A changed life is a work of God.
