Peace of Life

Peace can be found in Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God. He stated that he is the way the truth and the life. He also stated that no man can come to the Father but by me. Jesus was straightforward in what he said and taught.

People try to work peace out with those who are against them. We see this constantly in the world. Nations rise against nations for no other reason that they are different or believe differently. Wars are going on even at this time, when everyone thinks the nations of the world should be civilized enough to refrain from fighting with one another.

There is such a thing as a false peace. A peace that is false is usually caused by an agreement between two people to not contact one another or refrain from attacking one another. Though they may keep their distance from one another, inside they will be seething and hating on one another. True peace will remove the hate and the anger that burns within.

Peace of Life

Stillness of soul with contentment
Holding to no resentment
Bitterness expelled wrath released
Pleasure of life is increased

Fixated on tranquility
Anger is a liability
Calmness overflows your core
A soothing you cannot ignore

As the heart and mind succumb
Repose at night when sleep comes
Discord clashes with silence
Softness overcomes transience

Buoyant full of happiness
A bosom filled with gleefulness
Not disquieted like strife
Is what can be called peace of life.

John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
