Be the Peace

Peace is it the absence of anger, of hatred, of war or is it something more, something indescribable via human language?  Peace, a sense of calm in the midst of a storm; a hope when all is hopeless; a love without cause, without limits; a wholeness unexplainable via logical deductions.  Peace is the core of the Father, His reality we often ignore for we tend to label it an impossibility mixed with irrationality. In defining peace as an agreement or mutual harmony between two parties we deny its truest of meanings: a sensory connection surpassing words and expedited in love.  Peace is the Father’s offering and yet peace we neglect to accept.  Power driven, we strive for excellence, accentuating our brilliance while categorizing realities as extensions of rationalized thought and theories.  Power, excellence, accentuating, categorizing, extensions: this is how we normalize peace.  The heart dismissed, the soul discredited while the mind praised for misinterpretations and incorrect evaluations.  Patience, existing in love, accepting truth, viewing the world via compassionate eyes, and exercising the heart, this is the depth of peace, so why can this not be our norm?  Patience exists not in a society identified as hungry for power; or can it?  The existence of love, the depths of the soul, not superficial extensions of excellence: can it the existence of love find a home in such a excellence driven society?  How can we accept the truth of the Father, the truth of our oneness in Him  if we are so mesmerized by accentuation our own brilliance?  How can we put people, situations and society into categories and still act with compassion?  Rationalized extensions of theory driven purpose, does this trump exercising the heart in the reality of the Father?  We can be human and live divinely should we be willing to purpose our experiences attempting amnesty while circumventing hate and expediting love.   This is our peace, this is our hope, this is our future fully vested in love, made whole in the Father.  To change our understanding of peace is to change our mindset of reality and fully accept the Father as the truth of our reality.  Be at peace, bring the peace, be the peace the Father offers, be the peace the world desperately needs.
