Peace with God, peace with others and peace in your own heart. – Rick Warren

We all seek peace. Let’s make it our top goal this Christmas and for 2019! ‘Fear not’ said Jesus, peace be with you…

Think about this quote. Actually, no, don’t think about it. Just be, let things be, relax into ‘What is’.
Thoughts are about the past, present or the future. They always take us away from ‘now’, from ‘what is’. Even thoughts about the present do the same thing. Are thoughts desirable?
We are the literal creations of the One Creator. We live and move in the very ‘body’ of of God. We can never not be in the mind of God. We suffer when we think we are separate from the underpinning of all reality. We have no reason to worry. We can chill and relax, all is well!
Only unselfish work that’s targeted for the benefit of others is truly satisfying. All work we do for self is ultimately meaningless because it has a very narrow purview. Divinely inspired outcomes and work is what we should aim for, we wither away, become anxious and depressed when we don’t do that.
We all want peace. Even when we think we want happiness, it’s actually peace that we deeply desire. And of course it’s not the car, or the home, the vacation or the partner that we think we need, it’s a fulfilling peaceful life. We are everlasting thoughts in the mind of the Creator. And our only refuge is God’s ever-present grace.
We move and have our very being in the fabric of God stuff. Everything that we see and experience is God. God is all there is. To truly see we must recognize and speak to the Divine in the person in front of us. Everything around us is constantly moving and changing. What is it that never changes or moves? That’s the divine, the one thing we should focus on.
God loves us all; however how near (consciously) are we to God? That sense of conscious presence of ‘God’ manifests itself as a certain ‘peace that passeth understanding’, a relaxed beingness.
