peace of rain

John 14:23-27
Jesus answered, If a person loves Me; be will keep My word and My Father will love him and We will come to him and make Our home with him.
Anyone who does not love Me does not observe and obey my teaching. And the teaching which you hear and heed is not Mine, but from Father Who sent me.
I have told you these things while I was still with you.
But the Comforter (intercessor, advocate, strengthener) the Holy Spirit, Whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things. And He will cause you to recall everything I have told you.
Peace I leave with you; My peace I now five and bequeath to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. [ Stop allowing yourselves to be agitated and disturbed; and do not permit yourselves to be fearful and intimidated and cowardly and unsettled.]

-Amplified Bible.

There is a significant meaning to rain and peace for me right now. I keep finding passages on the eternal peace that the Holy Spirit instills within us. The peace from Jesus is not the kind of peace from this world. God gives us peace by covering us and raining the Holy Spirit down upon us/ within us. The Holy Spirit is our strength, and our joy for the Lord is our strength.
