I LOVE that it said "genetic qualities by transmission from parent"...the parent, our Heavenly Father. I also LOVED "the inheritance of an estate"...do you know where? Heaven!!!


Jesus also left us with something else as He left this earth to wait for us in Heaven, according to John 14:27 He left us with His peace..."Jesus said, "I leave you peace; My peace I give you. I do not give it to you as the world does, so dont let your hearts be troubled or afraid."


When you think of peace you think of everyone getting along, no wars etc. but Jesus told us it's not as the world sees it. I have seen this peace...when my Uncle was diagnosed with cancer, he KNEW he could face whatever came because he KNEW where he would spend eternity and he understood ALL things work together for good...when passed away my Aunt had this peace knowing he had gone to Heaven.


We arent promised that this life on earth would be easy, we just have the promise that we are never alone..."I will never leave you nor forsake you..." with that assurance "...I can face uncertain days because He lives"
