BFO: Seek the Cause, not the effect.
The peace that passes understanding can only come when we quit seeking the effect of peace and await our awakening to the cause of peace, God. Our awakening cannot come through the intellect.
Peace does not necessarily mean happiness. I was not happy about being given the care of the IRS, but I was at peace with it from the git-go. If I could have passed on it, however, I surely would have...and would have missed the greatest gift.
I believe it was my being at peace that upgraded my attitude to gratitude and opened me to the spiritual gifts that taking care of the IRS gave me...one of which was freedom from fear of financial insecurity which freedom is with me now, nearly 30 years later.
God does know the perfect path for me...my job is to not try to second guess It.
Thank You.
