I like the encouragement which tells us to “live life from within.” I want a peace that is not determined by what is going on around me, but what is going on in me. We may not be able to control our circumstances but grace enables us to choose our thoughts about them. When peace rules the heart; we experience a wholeness, a completeness, the knowledge that we lack nothing. Such wholeness enables our choices to positively affect all that is around us rather than be the negative effect of outside pressure.
“Blessed are the peacemakers.” Jesus “Conversations Within” ts 1/20/2016
