Proverbs 14:30
A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones.
Peace can’t be bought. It can’t be stolen. It can’t be lent or borrowed. You either have it or you don’t.
We pray for world peace, yet our hearts are anxious and fearful. Hateful and vengeful. prejudice and intolerant.
Until we as people can lay down our retaliations against ourselves, against our past, and against one another, we will never find peace.
Without inner peace, world peace is just an elusive dream.

So, I'm sitting here trying to figure out how to describe myself to you, and these are the words jumping up and down in my heart: I'm just a simple human being living in a complicated, messed-up world. I speak my mind. I love hard. My feelings run deep. When push comes to shove, I stand my ground. Sometimes I push back. Sometimes I walk away. I've surfed the crashing waves of life that threatened to destroy me only to make me stronger. I bear the scars of emotional rape, sadness, and depression. I've walked the golden streets of churches and religion only to be disappointed time and time again. And as a result, it's taken me seventy-five years to get where I'm sitting today; a sinner saved by grace through the blood of Jesus Christ. I fell at the cross. I repented of my sins, and Jesus saved and washed me clean. I still fall flat on my face. I still get dirty as a pig in a mudhole. And Jesus still picks me up, dries my tears, forgives me again and again, and continues walking close beside me. No one has ever loved me like that. And no one ever will.
