A peacemaker makes peace within himself or herself. -- The Sermon on the Mount as edited by David Capp
There is a measure of good in everything whether we know it or not. If we are honest about seeking to be free of self, we must find that truth...that truth that is the sliver of gold whenever less-than looms large.
Even better, when good comes our way, we go beneath the Wow, I Just Got Mine in order to find not mine, but God's. Which often appears less-than for us, but a giftee for others.
The great peace comes with our realizing our good coming from within for the benefit of those whom we have looked down upon, those whom in an instant have become our pearl.
Nobody is left out...not by us, our trying, our figuring it out...always by the grace of God.
Thank you.
