Let There Be Peace On Earth

This is a beautiful picture taken by the Hubble Telescope of a galaxy, yes far, far away.  The Universe is filled with incredible beauty everywhere we point this magnificent device.  And yet, !you know what is loveliest in God's eyes of all that He has created?  YOU are!!

Yes, the Bible tells us that we are all called God's children.  He so loves us that He wants us to be with Him forever and that is why He sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, to save us and reconcile us with Himself.  That is a great mystery, this incredible love that God has for EACH one of us - no exceptions!

In light of all of the recent tragedies that have taken place in our country these past few months, we must all remember this fact - EVERY person is individually created by God and loved and cherished by Him - no exceptions...  we are all loved.....further, we are ALL commanded by God to love one another - it's not a suggestion folks, it's His Divine Commandment that we love one another.

The answer to the violence is Peace - peace in our thoughts, our words and our actions.  And, sometimes that won't be easy to do, but with God's Grace, we CAN do it.  We MUST do it, it is the only way to live.

Each one of us must make the individual decision to treat everyone with respect and kindness and honor them as God sees them - as His children.  Only then, can we achieve peace in our souls, and in our country.

As Tiny Tim observed - "God Bless us - everyone!"

I suggest that as you go about your day and someone does something that wrongs or irritates you, that you quietly say that little prayer and be a Blessing, not a curse.  That's the way to achieve Peace!
