Walk in Peace.
Just being a person of Peace is often the best thing we can offer others. Lots of anxiety out there these days in airports, cross roads, markets, and daily life. Just staying in Peace really does help others re-center and feel dignity again. And is often what is needed most.
I’m trying to practice being in Peace daily. Seems like a needed remedy or medicine in these shaky, even turbulent, days we all live in.
Peace can be offered through our eyes, or our energy (practically speaking), but of course, begins in our spirits, our hearts. We are acting from that place, looking from that place and moving physically from that space. That blesses. I try to do both-look at people and move in the energy of Peace- when out in life. It helps people, and it allows me to make choices in pressured situations. Had a few this week. Easy to get reactive—to either “assault or withdraw” as Dallas Willard puts it.
Peace is not always relaxed or laid back, it is also active! Just as God is always concerned, but never stressed, so is Peace.
The ministry of Peace is underrated, often not well defined, and not as easy as it looks. Staying in Peace is both a gift and a discipline. Receptive and active. Feminine and masculine. It’s also a daily choice to stay in it. Peace on you today friends. Real Peace within. “In the world, you will have troubles, but I give you My Own Peace.”
Peace be with you!
