Peace is NOT the opposite of trouble or hardships; it is the opposite of worry and fear. 
Peace is trusting that, despite the suffering we face in life, Love can never be destroyed.

Peace is NOT the opposite of differences or challenges; it is the opposite of violence and cruelty.  
Peace is listening for the ways authentic Love creates intricate harmonies to honor the dignity of everyone.

Peace is NOT the opposite of uncertainty or confusion; it is the opposite of madness and despair.   
Peace is responding to the unpredictability of life with an inner knowing that God’s intelligent Love will guide us.

The peace that trusts, listens, and responds — all with Love at the center — is ready to be our companion. Let us each do our part to bring this peace into the New Year ahead.  

May you be inspired!
