What bothers you and why?
Innocense is a distinguishing feature for most of us, as people and even to other creatures like the sheep, birds, fish and the rest. It is mostly a statement for peace and quietness of the soul, a soul that does not want trouble in anyway or form.
Like when you meet a sheep out in the open grazing and drinking water in the available brook to its satisfaction. It is amazing how that not until it is provoked or in some way threatened you will not see it run up and down. It will always concentrate on what is at hand and the business of the day.
On the contrary there are some that do not know what peace or living in peace means. There is an attitude and ego that pushes them beyond their boundaries even to prohibited areas. It is their nature, causing trouble where peace has dwelt for ages. They do so in search of prey or something to devour and once they get hold of it their work is to steal, kill and destroy and like the devil pretending himself into an angel of light they rob off that peace. Like a lion on a hunt.
Peace is life and can be duplicated by sharing that same life to those around us. When you keep peace with others you keep it for yourself too, it can never go far from you just like the simple verse in the Bible, give and it shall be given back to you. If we become ferocious then our end has come and we become ripped off this valuable fruit.
I like it when I see peace and unity thrive among people because I know that in the existence of that peace and unity a blessing will be commanded from heaven and our lands will yield, our marriages and families will thrive, our institutions will thrive and last but not least our nation will thrive. However, when you deny people their peace you become like one who breaks the butterfly’s wings or a birds wing, that comfort to do more and go an extra mile becomes challenged.
I don’t know about you but one of the things to treasure in this life is that peace, at a personal level (the inner peace), at family level, at community or at national level and lack of it bothers me. Seek peace, pursue it and be at peace with everyone as much as it depends with you!
Like love, a language that every heart understands and communicates, peace is also a language that every soul and creature understands and can communicate. When you break the wing of a dove, or a butterfly it will never get to fly or release its potential.
When a people do not have peace a lot of things will stagnate. When they have it they are like trees planted besides the streams of waters that yields its fruits successfully through the seasons. Let peace thrive wherever you are.
