Discover The Pathway to Peace  by Wilma Watson

What do you think about when you think of peace? Do you think of peace as freedom from turmoil and strife? The peace we are talking about does not mean that you will be in a place where there is no turmoil or strife. It's the kind of peace that places you in a position where those things no longer affect you.

Do you fear a terrorism attack? Wouldn't it be great to live in a world without hatred, war and terror?

Growing up, I became the 'peacemaker' in our family. My mum and dad had a love-hate relationship. Add nine children and you have World War III! Even to this day I hate seeing people fight. I'm so grateful that I have a loving husband and fighting is not on our agenda.

My husband and I spent many years in Ethiopia helping people rise to a new level. We worked in a very remote area southwest of the capital city, Addis Ababa. Towards the end of our stay, tribal war broke out. Seeing first hand the destruction of peoples' lives and homes is devastating, particularly as we knew and loved many of those murdered.

There is now peace between the tribes involved because many have found inner peace. They have found a clear 'Roadmap to Peace'. How did they do this? They were introduced to someone who is called the 'Prince of Peace'. His name is Jesus. According to the Bible, Jesus said before he returned to his Father in Heaven, "I am leaving you with a gift - peace of mind and heart! And the peace I give isn't fragile like the peace the world gives."

What do you think about when you think of peace? Do you feel it will come when we have won the war on terrorism? Do you think of peace as freedom from turmoil and strife? Actually, the primary and basic idea of the word 'peace' in the Bible is completeness, soundness and wholeness. Is that what you long for? Jesus loves you and wants to bless you with completeness, soundness and wholeness!

You can rise to a new spiritual level and obtain inner peace today. The peace we are talking about does not mean that you will be in a place where there is no turmoil and strife. It's the kind of peace that places you in a position where those things no longer affect you.
