Sublime Peace
Seek peace, and illuminate your paths with happiness. Essential though is for you to cultivate a
clean mind and contrite heart. This is
when you’re blessed with gifts of God, Allah, Brahma, or Dao. You have become a true light and are ideal
for undertaking a divine mission. Barack Obama (b. 1961), the first African
American President of the United States said, “If you’re walking down the right path and you’re willing to keep
walking, eventually you will make progress.” Our walk of faith leads us to have an enlightened
heart.
The joys of this world are fleeting. True peace is a weapon that’s able to defeat
evil. In this world there’s degradation,
and fear, but for believers their future is bright. By living according to God’s promises they
become faithful, and kind men, and women.
These believers might face hardships that are like pin pricks compared
to the happiness that awaits them.
The world is buffeted by the winds of change. If it isn’t war, murder, or crime, deviancy
is found in the sensual excesses of life.
Some people hold their heads high, walk with their chests up, and are
puffed up. At best this is a way of
displaying vanity. Others face struggles
with broken hearts, and continue to pretend that all is well. Temptations of the flesh can’t build us up,
and it often involves empty praise and double talk. Worldly types live in the shackles of
fickleness. A poet and philosopher Ralph
Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
wrote, “To be yourself in a world that is
constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.” Being true to oneself should be the aim of
every individual of faith.
Spreading Joy
It’s beneficial to spread joy and hope in the sacred world. To be true to ourselves we have to live in
peace. Being sustained by the Primal
Essence it’s for us to minister to others.
As lights in the world we ought to walk confidently in the midst of
wolves. Our journey in life would be
filled with celestial riches. Robert H.
Schuller (1926–2015),
a Christian televangelist said, “God flourished my ministry and my career of
creative thinking, communicating and writing back 50 years.” It was Schuller’s belief that he was blessed in
his mission.
To find comforting peace it’s best to review the teachings of
the sacred texts of the world’s faith traditions. Their teachings mirror the true lights of our
earthly sojourn. So it’s wise, to be
steadfast in understanding of the Word.
For the monotheistic faiths believe on judgment day we’ll have to give
an account of how we have lived. Believers
who embrace these spiritual beliefs would be comforted in their lives. Ann Landers (1918–2002), a Chicago
Sun-Times advice columnist wrote, “Expect trouble as an inevitable part
of life and repeat to yourself; the most comforting words of all; this, too,
shall pass.” With this realization we
know that a devout life will be victorious.
