It sounds like an unrealistic ideal to strive for peace. How are we to find peace in a world filled with war and strife? In my lifetime it seems as most of the years have been spent in some kind of war or another. There is never a shortage of reasons for division and difference. Our brains are designed to notice that which is unlike us. It is a survival mechanism for our safety. But today’s world where we have learned to survive, we have an opportunity to seek out the similarities. Recognizing that we all come from the same Creator is one beginning. Identifying ways we are able to find common ground makes room for peace. My ultimate sense of peace comes from the knowledge of my heart that there is nothing I can do or say to undo God. The certainty of love in the world stems from the fact that it is still happening. Despite all the wars, focus on the differences, and striving in a messy fashion to love one another, God is still love in all forms. When I come from this knowledge, I come to my life from a place of peace.
