Whoever wants to embrace life
and see the day fill up with good,
here’s what you do:
Say nothing evil or hurtful;
Snub evil and cultivate good;
Run after peace for all you’re worth.
1 Peter 3:10-11 [The Message]
When one thinks of the word, "peace," one is tempted to also think of the word, "impossible." The daily new media remind us how difficult this is, both in concept and in reality. I do not believe, however, that Peter is speaking about peace in the world - we could run forever and still be chasing such an elusive dream. The apostle is speaking, I believe, about peace in our own hearts: the absence of fear and conflict with others, the calm trusting in His mercy that brings peace to our souls. I wish you blessings in your quest for peace today.
