World peace is a journey\"\"
\nThat begins with a single, faltering step
\nUpon the cobbled path of inner peace.<\/div>\n
Inner peace is the
\nperfection of inner healing.
\nInner healing is the fruit of acceptance.
\nAcceptance is the tree of life
\nThat springs forth from Love.
\nLove is the seed.
\nChrist is the Seed. God is Love. God loves us\u2026All.<\/div>\n
\n

All of us.<\/p>\n

His love frees.
\nAwakens our souls
\nTo accept that we are accepted.
\nTo accept ourselves.
\nTo accept others.
\nTo love others.
\nTo love our neighbour.
\nTo love our enemy.
\nTo even love\u2026<\/p>\n

ourselves.<\/p>\n

Acceptance is the tree that bears
\nthe fruit of inner healing.
\nInner healing is the beginning of inner peace.
\nInner peace is the cobbled path
\nWhich we must all walk
\nOn our journey to world peace.<\/p>\n

God is not a philosophy
\nor ideology.<\/p>\n

No.<\/p>\n

Not a a religion,
\nan argument,
\nor an excuse
\nfor intolerance,
\nbigotry,
\nanger,
\nhate
\nor war.<\/p>\n

God is Peace.<\/p>\n

War is the outer conflict
\nThat mirrors our inner conflict.
\nHatred stoked by anger.
\nAnger fueled by rejection.
\nRejection scourged by brokenness.
\nBrokenness stillborn from emptiness.
\nEmptiness\u2026
\nThe absence of love.
\nThe absence of light.
\nA dark pit of despair and futility.<\/p>\n

God is light.<\/p>\n

World peace is the journey
\nWhere every single, faltering step
\nUpon the cobbled path of inner peace
\nLeads us closer to our true selves.<\/p>\n

Closer to freedom.<\/p>\n

Closer to the Divine.<\/p>\n
