“When a man’s ways please the Lord, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.” (Proverbs 16: 7)

What does peace really mean? Is it winning our way over another, doing battle until one gets his way? Or is true peace found in a mutual understanding that harmony is right, good for all, and ultimately satisfying and sustainable.

Peace may feel elusive in our lives and in our world. But we have a starting point in our own thinking and actions. When conflict appears, we can begin with God and our relationship with Him. As we look to God to discover what is true about us and another, and act in accord with this law of goodness and Love, we find peace within ourselves. We are surrendering our own battle, our own will, for what God is guiding us to do and has made us (and all) to be. We are His representatives, obeying His direction and showing forth His qualities in true justice, respect, selflessness, understanding.

And so those we may feel are our enemies no longer seem to be so to us. We see them as fellow children of God, and our thoughts and behavior reflect God’s light, that healing glow of Truth that even those who may seem against us can also feel and yield to.

When we please God by accepting the identity that He created, we naturally have the power of Love in us and we can witness the healing, peace-bringing results in our lives.
