Colossians 3:15 - "Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful."
There will always be that man or woman – often the exception in our encounters with Christians – who will exude the peace of Jesus Christ. Some will erroneously think that this person never has a trial or a reason to become disturbed. However, if the aforementioned are living in peace, it is because they have chosen to do so.
Paul tells us the secret of this sort of peace in the preceding verses. He tells the Colossians to "put on a heart of compassion" for others and to choose to live in the fruit of the Holy Spirit. He speaks of forgiving all as Christ forgave us and to do all with a thankful heart (Colossians 3:12-15). If we are choosing to be loving, forgiving, and thankful, beloved, we will experience peace ruling in our hearts and touching everyone we meet.
