If you don’t have peace, it isn’t because someone took it from you; you gave it away.  You cannot always control what happens to you,but you can control what happens in you.

From Isaiah 26:3:  “Those of steadfast mind You keep in peace, in peace because they trust in You.”

John Maxwell (born 1947) is an American pastor, author, and speaker.  He has written numerous books about leadership, with a Christian point of view.
