Having Peace

Most of us want to have peace in the world though it is hard to see or find it. The problems getting peace is a lot to do with governments and big business along with evil people.

How do we get peace then it begins with us. We have to choose to have peace. Not an easy thing to accomplish however it can be done. Actually peace comes into our hearts. Often there is darkness but light wants to come in and we choose the light over the darkness. I know that I have had problems over the years struggling with peace. Although I have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ it is still hard to get true peace which comes through him.

How do we accomplish the peace is a very good question. It is something we have to work on a daily basis. Today we may have peace however again tomorrow we have to make sure that it comes once again. Darkness always wants to find its way into our lives however the light is knocking for us to decide whether to accept it or let the darkness live within us.

We may believe that we don’t have any darkness or evil with in us but we are liars to say that is true. We do have goodness as well but the battle continues on a daily basis between the goodness we want and the evil that comes in. This is the reason we battle with peace. Although we want to have peace on earth or in our lives it is not something we can accomplish on our own without choosing to be on God’s side and let him in with his light.

For us to know our purpose in life we must decide living for ourselves or for God. We will never have true peace without God. This is the major reason we will not have peace on earth because many have decided that their lives are more important to lead on their own instead of giving over to God. I am not saying this because I have totally accomplished the feat because I haven’t. Every day I must decide to follow him and have his peace within me.
