Meditation on Inner Peace
The peace rose is a flower that has precise needs before it can be beautiful.
It must be watered and pruned and fed and given sunlight.
You, too, must sip silence, prune wrong thoughts and emotions.
You must sit in the sunshine of God’s grace.
Meditation opens the petals of promise and purpose.
When you have fully bloomed into the silence, you will shed fragrance without effort.
When you go out into the world you will shed peace without piousness.
There will be presence without pressure....
poise without posturing.
Be still and know the secret of life....be still and know yourself to be a part of God.
Now bring your peace with you into the world.
The discovery you will make is that your peace will be reflected back to you in a lawful way.
This ingoing is ongoing. At the end of the day, give thanks.
And the next day begin again.
