We often pray for peace but sometimes we fail to start it within us. it all starts with LOVE. Peace is the product of love and love has a divine origin. We are a product of that LOVE. It is God's Love manifested through us for we were created in His image and likeness. it is not us who searched for God first; It is not us who loved God first but He searched for us and Loved us first.

The world has distorted our minds on the way we think of peace. The world pulls it down to a level of understanding which we can QUANTIFY so that it will be easier to understand. To live wealthy, to live in a secured subdivision, to have a stable employment, to have big business, to have a good retirement... etc., these are some of the things the world equates to peace. They are not all bad but when we pursue these things and not pursue God, then there is the vast difference.

Peace is not the absence of all the troubles in life but it is the presence of God inside our heart. It is that silent- powerful word that says, "son, everything will be alright...", when everything else seem helpless. That is the assurance we receive from God in every trial and sufferings we are going through. It is God's peace.

Pursue God and everything else will follow. It starts from accepting Jesus for He is the only mediator between God and Man.

Have a peacefully peaceful Monday! Shalom!
