Meditations on God

It is easy to be at peace in peaceful situations.

When no one or nothing is challenging you, it is not difficult to find a sense of ease and comfort.

Life is not often without conflict, however.

There will be very few situations or relationships in your life wherein peace is simply handed to you.

Peace is something that must be sought.

Peace is something that must be cultivated.

Peace is something that must be practiced.

The goal is to be at peace in difficulty, in conflict, and even in chaos.

You do not get to choose what life throws at you so you must aim to find peace in both the good and the bad.

This is no easy task.

In fact, it may take a lifetime.

One thing is for sure, however, you will not accomplish this by avoiding that which causes you discomfort.
