Peace.

I left my one word message to be dropped on NYC. Cliche' as it is... Peace. Let peace literally drop on our world. You know, it really is more of a God word than it is a beauty pageant word. I mentioned John's reference to "perfect love" in my previous post this week in my journey of overcoming fear. Isaiah talks about another perfect... "perfect peace." All of these God-concepts... Love... Peace... Grace... Hope... Faith... would truly make the world a better place. Oh, how I've missed the mark. I'm so much more prone to give into fear and stress and judgment and unrest. So my hope and prayer in my life and through my life in these new beginnings and new year is for Peace. Yes, peace on earth but deeper and more intimate than that. Peace in my heart and quiet in my spirit. Peace in my family and in my relationships. Peace is something we could all use. "May the peace of God which transcends all understanding guard our hearts" this year.
