What Is Peace?

"Peace is the beauty of life. It is sunshine. It is the smile of a child, the love of a mother, the joy of a father, the togetherness of a family. It is the advancement of man, the victory of a just cause, the triumph of truth" 
                  Menachem Begin



Defining peace…Now that I think of it, its actually not easy to put it into words. you'll agree totally  that– an absence of violence is definitely not a definition of peace. Although it is a pretty good indication of the PRESENCE of peace.



From my own search for peace, I have found that peace is not so much a condition, but rather a state of being. Like truth, freedom, love and happiness – not so easy to describe or define although it can certainly be experienced.
 Peace already exists - within us. Its always there-in everyone, no matter who you are, where you live or what you believe. We only need to be aware of it.

A peaceful mind thinks thoughts of peace, and speaks words of peace…and then such a person with such a peaceful mind will act in peace even try to make sure everyone and anything is peaceful, peace comes with joy only that person can fill. And so a whole set of “symptoms” of peace will follow…and more causes of peace will be created. 


A peaceful mind is so much more powerful than a mind filled with anger or a distracted mind.

Even down to verse 7, he then encourages us by saying that the peace of God will fill our hearts and minds. Thinking about it, how many problems have you solved by worrying? how much time have you spent worrying about things that never even happened? has anything ever gotten better as a result of your worrying about it? lets be sincere, NO .  The moment you begin to worry or feel anxious, give your concern to God_because it is normal to feel...

How your thinking can affect you.

POSITIVE THINKING RELEASES THE POWER OF POTENTIAL . People who think positively can see potential in even the most discouraging situations, while those who do not think positively are quick to point out the situations' problems and limitations. One of the best stories that showed positive thinking releases the power of potential took place centuries ago. God promised the people of Israel they would posses a rich land and fertile country known as Canaan. He didn't promise them its going to be easy, but he did promise them they would inhabit it- and when God makes a promise he keeps it. The Israelite did send 12 men to go to Canaan to "spy out the land" and bring back a report. When they returned, 10 spies admitted that the land flowed with milk and honey but said the land was full of giants who would be impossible yo overcome, they allowed the presence of the giants to detract from the promises of God. Joshua and Caleb brought back go...
