People of Peace

People have been on my mind lately. No specific person or group of people but my heart has been full with how much we are all really walking through this life together and how different we are. I know that there are people in this world that are not good people, as in they have bent their hearts in the direction that Satan leads them to believe. That is not me saying that anyone who does not believe in God or Jesus are bad people. I have met wonderful people who do not necessarily believe in these things.

But back to my point, people in general have been on my heart. How we relate, work, believe, support, and love each other has been the focus of my attention lately. Media will turn our attention to incredible things such as anti-America rallies across Northern Africa in the Muslim world. But somehow in my small little dreamworld of a brain I can see it.....you know...I can see people looking at one another with joyous, not opposing, grateful eyes.

I can see the small gestures of one stranger to another doing a kindness in the grocery store when they mistook that $20 for a $50 and pitches in to make sure that person had what they needed. Or simply forgiving someone face to face for a trespass that has weighed heavy on the relationship. I can see it, I have seen it, I want to be an advocate for peace as a soldier for Christ as ironic as that might sound. Because people are worth it.

In reality humanity will never get tired of torturing one another. We will never just look peace in the face and say "it's your turn to reign."

Brother against brother, mother against daughter, father against son.
We will never stop destroying until all damage is done.
And only then when we have nothing left,
We will say, "imagine if peace would have won."

We are people, if we have nothing else in common it is that we all must walk this earth at the mercy of it's happenings. Also, though there are those who do not believe in the same way that I do, I know that there will come a day when peace will reign and it will win because the Prince of Peace is faithful. That's enough to make a person's soul stir, it's enough to bring a tear to my eye. It's enough to make me want to share this peace with others, because people matter...they just do.

"All will be made new....." Hallelujah.

All to God
