Today,
I took a break from the news. Today, I
took a break from reading articles online that have anything to do with
politics, protests or bitterness. Today,
the words of this song resonated with my soul.
Let there be peace on earth
And let it begin with me
Let there be peace on earth
The peace that was meant to be
With God as our father
Brothers are all we
Let me walk with my brother
In perfect harmony
Let peace begin with me
Let this be the moment now
With every step I take
Let this be my solemn vow
To take each moment
And live each moment
In peace eternally
Let there be peace on earth
And let it begin with me
And let it begin with me
Let there be peace on earth
The peace that was meant to be
With God as our father
Brothers are all we
Let me walk with my brother
In perfect harmony
Let peace begin with me
Let this be the moment now
With every step I take
Let this be my solemn vow
To take each moment
And live each moment
In peace eternally
Let there be peace on earth
And let it begin with me
Today,
I’m focusing on peace. Today, I’m
choosing not to look at the world with disgust, disbelief and
discontentment. Today, I’m choosing
peace. Today, I’m choosing it for
myself. Today, I’m praying for peace for
my family, my country, the world. Today
I’m setting my sights on the one who grants peace that passes all
understanding. Today, I’m praying that
His peace penetrates hearts of stone, bitter seeds, loneliness, sadness,
destruction and strife. Today, I trust His PEACE can do this!
“For
I have told you these things so that, in ME, you may have PEACE. In this world you will have trouble, but TAKE
HEART, I have overcome the world!” John 16:33
Today,
I choose to stake my claim in the soil of this promise!
Peace!
