about peace

In a world full of war and conflict, where bombs fall and people die from every kind of conflict and violence, the idea of peace can sometimes ring hollow. How can we have peace when others are trying to kill us? You cannot find peace anywhere except in the kingdom of God…and the kingdom of God is within you. From within the kingdom of God within you, comes His love, and from His love comes the comfort, the trust, the security, and the serenity we call peace.

We all need to do as much as we can to bring peace to our homes, to our workplace, to our nation, and to our world. To bring the peace the world needs so desperately we must all recognize the source of peace within ourselves. The source of peace within us is the Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ. When we find Christ within our hearts, He brings to us a shelter from the storms outside of us. In His hands, we can rest secure in knowing no matter what might be raging outside of us, His protective love covers us and He keeps our spirit safe forever and ever.
