Pursue Peace

To live in peace should be our goal.
In this we have a major role.
Peace is just not being calm.
It must be a healing balm.

The way that we relate to others,
Friends and neighbors, moms and brothers,
Must be birthed in love and kindness,
With deep thought and not in blindness.

When we live a righteous life,
Seeking peace against all strife,
Relationships will “turn around”,
And joy and peace will there abound.

“For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men. Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.”
Romans 14:17-19 KJV
