How can we achieve inner peace? At times our thoughts and emotions are in active combat, but we can learn to control them. This is not always easy. When we feel ourselves losing control of our emotions, we must take immediate action.
Know that there is a place of perfect peace within, and this perfect peace is only a thought away. We can turn our thoughts Godward, resting in the calm center within, and quickly be restored. Peace is not passive. It is a powerful, active state of being which overcomes any seeming confusion or turmoil.
True peace is of God. When we live in the constant awareness of our unity with God, we radiate peace to all around us. We bring understanding where there was hurt, love where there was hate, order where there was confusion, forgiveness where there was resentment. For us to have peace on earth, it must begin within each human heart.
