Hello ,
An American soldier lay mortally wounded on the battlefield. An officer asked, "Can I do something for you?" "Nothing--nothing, thank you," replied the wounded soldier.
"Shall I go and get you a little water?" asked the officer. "No, thank you; I am dying" was the reply.
"Isn't there anything I can do? Can I sit down and write a letter to your friends?" "I have no friends you can write to."
"There is one thing I would be much obliged to you for," said the dying soldier. "In my haversack, yonder, you will find a Testament. Will you open it? Will you be so good as to turn to the fourteenth chapter of John?--and near the end you will find a
verse that begins with `Peace.'"
The officer turned to the fourteenth chapter of John and read: "Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."
"Thank you sir," said the dying soldier;
"thank you sir. I have that peace."
What an amazing thing, that in the last moments of a person's life they can find peace that passes all understanding.
The good news is, we can have this peace every day.
Have a great day and God bless!
