Peace of Christ

Dear Victorious,

It says in Colossians 3:15 that we are to "let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts." What does this mean? How would peace rule in my heart?

Dear Sammy,

When we become followers of Christ, a spiritual war is set off within us. It is the clash of feelings and desires, of trust and distrust, of jealousy and love, and of fears and hope. We must then go about the daily business of deciding between conflicting elements. We do so by choosing the rule of peace. Which choice will best promote peace in our hearts and in our relationships at all levels?

When we allow peace to rule in our hearts in this way, we find that life works out quite nicely.
