Day 7: Living Like Peace Matters

New International Version: John 14:27  (©1984)

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

 
I was thinking what a great blessing it is to know that you have left peace behind or with those with who you have come into contact.  I also thought about the ways we can show peace, find peace, be at peace, or live at peace.
 

• Show peace by serving others who lack peace or live with fear. 
• Find peace by coming to terms with the life you live or who you are as a person.
• Add peace by  becoming an advocate for peace in places or parts of the world that need peacemakers.
• Live at peace through how you love and how you forgive.

 
Here's a link to a famous peacemaking organization that celebrates its annivesary this week:
