“I tell you now to live the way God’s people should live.Always be humble and gentle. Be patient and accept each other with love.You are joined together with peace through the Spirit. Do all you can to continue together in this way. Let peace hold you together.” (Ephesians 4: 1-3, International Children’s Bible)

Let peace hold you together. What a beautiful thought. And where does this peace come from? Is it something we must fabricate and manipulate? Is it merely a lovely ideal that has no foundation and substance?

Peace is an everlasting, ever-present quality of God. It is more than mere quietness or a lessening of tensions. It is divine Love’s contentment, God’s self-sustaining harmony. Peace is the true state of God’s creation, for we were not made to feud or fear. God made us to express His own goodness and light and Love. And these holy qualities do not fight. They simply exist, shine, naturally prove and promote peace.

So, we can turn to God to discover that natural peace and utilize what is within us by behaving with love as our motive and as our method. We are all joined together by this mighty, gentle force. Let’s be humble enough to accept it, kind enough to express it, and patient enough to stay calm and confident as this Truth finds its way into all hearts and holds us together in its great embrace.
