This doesn't mean that we're always bubbly and extroverted. It means that wherever we're at, whatever we're doing, we enhance life and love. Joy means others feel Christ's loving presence no matter what they're going through. We may think that we enjoy the Spirit's peace only when we feel peaceful. Yet, we realize that divine peace is more than a feeling.
True peace affects our physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual being.
It flows from the reality of God's constant love for us. Peace pierces our entire being and manifests itself in the way we do things, in our outlook on life, and how we relate to others. Those at peace are confident that they are walking with Christ along the straight and narrow path of salvation. Peace remains with us always, even during sin and suffering, thus helping us through difficult times. Like the other aspects of the fruit of the Spirit, our experience of peace motivates us to urge others to follow Jesus Christ so that they too will experience lasting peace of heart and mind.
