THE FRUIT GARDEN: In Search of Peace
Where are we looking to find peace? Are we looking into relationships outside of Jesus, that to say a relationship with; a spouse, relative, lover, friend, guru? Do we search through our environment? Do we try to find comfort in a diet or the foods which we eat? Does nature bring us serenity; water, wind, trees, squirrels, birds, clouds, stars, oceans, rivers, lakes, crickets, sunsets, sunrises? Are we searching outside ourselves to find peace? What if we entertain the idea that peace needs to come from within? Let’s take it one step further, what if we believed that world peace arrives when all humans on Earth are able to maintain or find inner peace? How would that look… pretty mind-boggling?
We live in a society today of terrorist, hate-crimes, rapes, sex offenders, child molesters, murders, drunkenness causing drunk driver which bring harm to the addict and innocent casualties, domestic abuse (although we have become more sensitively aware of it, it still screams through the blood of our social relationships). We all cry in prayers for world peace, however, if we all were able to find peace within our minds, spirit and beings (soul) then nothing could harm us besides we would ultimately become invincible. Although we may die, we already know through a relationship with Jesus Christ on the cross that death itself cannot finish our existence. Now just breath, pause and let us open our eyes, look into the Heavens or skies to find that there is nothing entangling us here on this Earth to bound our souls to spiritual burden; we are free. We will become free when our spirits are able to smile and be expressed in a calm, resolved image. The reflection of our aura would be perfect peace. Such an image is a prodigy. Plus this goal is obtainable. It can be obtained by everyone on Earth because everyone has the power within themselves to obtain it. No one nor nothing can prevent a human from receiving the spiritual fruit of peace. It is freely given by the Holy Spirit and it is the answer to all our pain.
