All this time I've been using and
understanding the word “Peace” in a very wrong way. School works, college
entrance test requirements, class governor problems, and ate duties these
were the times I really want to have peace. And that time, peace for me was a
figurative escape from reality. Having a break from our daily routines and having
a pause and be with yourself. Peace for me is more like reading a book;
listening to music; watching films; and seeing beautiful landscapes.
As I reflect, I realized
that I don’t have peace the time I was doing those. It’s more of a recreation.
Peace is not only about the absence of violence or having a break from this
world. Peace is having the presence of God. In the times I shut myself in my
room and focus in reading a book, listening to music or do some things for
myself, I’m actually pushing away God’s presence. I was too busy looking for
the presence of myself and I totally forgot about God. That’s not peace.
There will be peace if there’s love and justice. We
have to know to stand for what is right and do what is right. We may get
negative feedback when we do this but at the end it’s between you and God. We
should not fear to stand for the truth. We should not fear the threats of people
who fear the revelation of truth. Just like what’s happening today, the people
who stand for the truth were threatened and pulled down. As long as we are
doing the good thing, God is always with us and being with God Is having peace.
We have nothing to fear because God is bigger than any problems or issues we
have in life. We can conquer those as long as we have Him.
Peace is a gift from God. Let us share this gift to
those who haven’t found the real meaning of peace. Let us be God’s instrument
and give the gift of love and the gift of peace.
