I am peace that shatters all your secret fearsI enjoy joking and being sarcastic 92% of the time. I was the class clown in grade school, and even though I became a little more shy in high school and college, it's still pretty clear to everyone that I enjoy joking around.
The 8% of the time that I don't enjoy it is when I want to have a meaningful conversation with someone. Because I'm joking around so often, it's hard to sit down and be serious. Sometimes I used the joking to cover up my fears.
Attending life teen during high school helped me with this problem. I didn't know most of the people in the group, so I had a chance to be something other than just a "jokester" with them. At life nights, I felt peaceful. I found myself able to have deep conversations, where I shared my fears, with people that I didn't know all that well.
I pray, tonight, that God continues to give me that peace that allows me to talk about my fears with others. I pray that when others look at me, they see more than just my sarcasm and my jokes, but also see God's love and peace.
