The Peace of God

            As the Apostle Paul made his evangelizing way through the Middle East and Asia Minor, he often used, either as a greeting or a benediction, an invocation which was meant to  confer the Peace of God on his audiences.  Good thing Paul was so ardent in spreading the Good News to the world or what we know as traditional Christianity might have been confined only to the Jewish-Palestinian world.

Our strident divisions...         

  And how much of an impact would the Peace of God bring to our world today?  Could we put aside our strident divisions and let ourselves be spiritually restored, regardless of religions systems?  Couldn’t we use Divine Peace greatly today as we navigate through mountains of hate-filled speech that demonizes the “other?”

           

A quality of the Infinite...

 Peace of Mind is a quality of the Infinite in that it comes into life with us, but, like Love and many of the other qualities, we must uncover it, recognize it, and learn how to use it.  A world without the action of Divine Peace---which would be a naturally-calming occurrence if we understood it… would be a world of war-like confrontations.

           

We are meant to enjoy the Gifts.....

 As the people of God, all of us, this cannot be for us.  We are meant to enjoy the Gifts of the Spirit, which involve the Infinite Qualities… Love, Harmony, Order, Wisdom and Peace, to name a few.  We are meant to cultivate them, bring them into the world in all the ways we can imagine, and truly be a force for Good.
