Peace

Image
Peace is the sense that everything is as it should be. It's the deep conviction that a wise plan is unfolding,             step by step, moment by moment,                         in time and in tune with the heartbeat                                        of the Creator. It's found in the eye of the storm,             where stillness enfolds us in loving arms                         even as we watch the world  spin wildly                                         out of control around us.  It's the peace Jesus had when he stood in Pilate's courtyard;             the peace the martyrs had facing lions in the coliseum;                         the peace today's  believers have facing the swords                                        of crazed assassins.  It's a peace available to all of us  who acknowledge our helplessness,             who collapse under the weight of our own sinfulness
