Peacemaker or War Monger?

When you want Peace, you have no need except to extend itACIM
What does it look like when you are extending peace?
How does it sound when you are teaching peace?
How does it feel when you are giving peace?

“My Peace, I give to you my Brothers and sisters.”

Why do you want to give peace?
Every time you give peace, you have more peace yourself.
Every where you extend peace, you feel more peaceful.
Every one to bless with peace, you are more confident, connected and at peace.

The work of being peaceful is truly an internal affair.

Even when you find yourself in disagreement, it does not stop your inner peace.
Even when you find an inner conflict within yourself,  you can bless it with the Peace of Goodness.
Even when you do not know how to resolve a conflict, you can give the situation to the Highest Good.

There are those on the planet who choose peace in all circumstances.

They are the peacemakers.
There are those looking for the wrong-doing, the conflicts, the problems.
They are the looking for a fight.

When the Peace of God is my goal, I choose to keep peace at all costs.

When the Piece of Good that I Am is my purpose, I always listen for win-win solutions.
When I am willing to be peaceful in all my relationships, I find myself choosing what works.
When I take care of my inner piece, I am forgiving. I apologize. I love easily. I am trusting.

Each of us has a healing part to play in our family, at home, at work and in the world.

This healing part we play is essential to Peace in our world.
When we are playing our part, we feel whole, confident, happy and trusting.
When we forget and give less than our best, we feel hurt, doubtful, unhappy and fearful.

Ask yourself to begin to practice bringing the Peace.

Give yourself opportunities to breathe, to surrender, to let go and trust.
In the letting go of resistance, we often find the conflict resolves itself.
When we turn to Love, instead of fear, we often see creative solutions.

Life is a puzzle, a learning laboratory, a spiritual/practical school to clarify what works.

Experiment and explore, be curious about what heals and what reveals.
Change your mind about people and situations.
Open the door to your heart and invite in more compassion, forgiveness and understanding.

First peace and then comes understanding.

Give your mind a rest and let go of resistance.
Give your relationships a rest and stop judging, arguing and defending yourself.
Give your life a rest and give the Rest to God, to the inner Voice for Goodness within you.

Loving you today,
