Top-selling Christian band Casting Crowns just released their first ever Christmas album, “Peace on Earth” last week and is already causing a stir among fans. The band is very excited about their new release.
“I want to see people rediscover the worship that Christmas songs have in them,” said frontman Mark Hall. “A lot of times, when we sing carols, we sort of shift into Christmas carol mode–singing songs that we’ve been singing for so long, we might not be hearing what they’re really saying.”
Don’t have the album yet? Well, we have 5 copies to give away. Oh, and did we mention they are autographed by the band?
Want one?

The best way to achieve Peace on Earth is to bring the Gospel on to everyone on Earth, that everyone will be willing to live for Jesus and perform his deeds. since it’s impossible to convert the whole world then the only solution is when Jesus comes back to Earth to reign the second time.

Peace begins at home. What if we all started off by bringing more peace into our families, our friendships, and our neighborhoods? It sounds too simplistic, doesn’t it? Sure, but think about it. Children who grow up immersed in peace and love don’t grow up to declare war on others. It’s children who grow up with trauma, tragedy, and turmoil who grow up confused and angry, and who become tyrannical leaders . . . or maybe just cruel, selfish parents who set up the next generation for the very same failure.
Of course, as we’re helping our own children to know peace and love in the home, we need to help other children around the world whose circumstances are desperate and not conducive to peace. Whether the hungry child you help lives in Mozambique or Michigan, your compassion proves that somebody cares, and also shows your own kids the importance of lending a hand to support somebody who’d fall down without it. Building peace is about taking away someone else’s reason to hate, and too many children around the world have had reason to believe, “They just don’t care about me”.
It all comes down to how we raise our children, though – whether they have a sense that they are valued and beloved treasures from God, or if they only know pain, hostility, and brokenness because that’s all their environment provided. We will create the next generation in our image, so we’d better get set to take a long look in the mirror.

I believe if everyone would love others unconditionally as Jesus loves us, we would eventually have peace on earth. No judging or pointing fingers or shunning others because they don’t dress right or look right, but perceive every single person as if through the eyes and heart of Christ Our King with love and compassion.

Maybe providing a sense of peace
could come from random acts of
kindness. Because they’re free
and particularly done to reward
someone else, seems to me that
random acts are truly “worthwhile”
and genuinely “beneficial”. There-
fore, they serve as a method of
peace-making each time they’re done.

Jesus said ” I am the way the truth and the life… “. He is my standard bearer and because of Him I see people thru His eyes.
Now if more people believed this and practiced it, then this world would have peace. In closing, Jesus also said ” My peace I give you and my peace I leave not as the worlds gives but I give it. ”
That is what I call something to reach for!

Peace first needs to begin “IN” us before it can be shared with others. You can’t share something that you do not have yourself. True peace is not something that can be marketed or made into a theme,it can’t be “taught” or “learned” it is something that must be experienced.

I believe the best way for peace on earth is through prayer. I am amazed and awed EVERY DAY at the tremendous power of prayer. We were given a challenge the other day to pray every day at 1:00 for 1 person, and watch the transformation in their lives. Can you imagine what would happen if every person prayed for 1 person??? I have grown more spiritually in the last year, than I have in the last 40 years – because of the power of prayer – and I thank everyone that has prayed for me. I also believe that teaching our children prayer, and teaching them to “do the right thing”, and reading the bible to them is so very important. They are our future – we need to teach them what the commandments mean, so they know right from wrong. It’s quite a challenge, as I have experienced (and am still experiencing) with my own children. I know it will be worth it!

I saw him standing there just blankly staring into the crowd, our crowd but he wasn’t really apart of us any more because he has seen things we cannot comprehend and so for several moments he is stuck in a place that we only have the knowledge of through the safety of our homes. He has lived through war and that stare is looking into a terrible place, an unsafe place of hurt, and pain, torture, destruction, and great sadness. It’s a stare of shame and shock for everything that he has witnessed but could not stop. It’s a stare of grief for all that was lost including parts of himself to survive.
Now he stands here with us as he has always done before but things are not the same. In his stare he just needs to see you Lord, It will be alright.

The only way to world peace or peace in each heart is to get acquainted with the God who sent his son to spread the message of peace, my peace I give to you, he said, not as the world gives. This peace is only accomplished by coming to know God through prayer, meditation and study of God’s words and taking them seriously. For when God is king in your life and the lives of others then there is peace between individuals which concievably could spread to others until more and more persons were changed to regard the kingdom of God, a kingdom of true peace in each life and eventually the world.

I believe we as a nation, whether we are poor, rich, or in between must humble ourself and focus on our Lord and savior. Pray and trust in him, ONLY! with all your heart. God is getting our attention and we as a nation of people all across the world MUST give God the honor and glory for everything. We need to pray and ask for his guidance in all things. We as a nation think that what we have will always be there, God gives and God can take away. Give God the honor and glory everyday for everything we have. It is only loaned to us, it belongs to him. If we have God in our lives and live each day in accordance to HIS will as best as we humanly can, showing our love, forgiveness, helping others without expecting anything in return, focusing on him all the time, God will bless us with PEACE

I believe that the best way to peace on Earth is starting with each and every one of us. We all need to start living for our family and neighbors and not for ourselves. To serve and love other people is where true peace and fulfillment comes from and when you show this to others it likely that they will pass it on. Treat others as you would like to be treated.Always think before you speak or react to an unjustice done to you or someone you know and it will open the eyes of the person doing it.Kindness begets kindness.

With our society today we are all so busy and running around doing so much, that we often don’t slow down enough to realize what we are missing. We also go into an automatic mode where we are on auto pilot and don’t always think through what we are saying or doing. We all need to slow down and take the time to appreciate what Jesus did when He came to earth and then died for us so that we might live. He gave us the ultimate gift. What are we doing to share Jesus gift with others. Many people are hurting and need the peace and joy and love that Jesus and God can bring.
Christmas Is
It’s not the tinsel or the tree,
It’s not the lights for all to see;

It’s not the gifts we present,
It’s not the holiday party events;

What is peace? Peace is a calm sweet stability within your spirit that we cannot achieve within our flesh. This calmness comes by the renewing of our minds with the word of God by reading our bibles, spending personal quality time with God, and the willingness to hear and obey the voice of the Holy Spirit. As we do these things we receive a supernatural peace of God. This peace then allows us to be compassionate and forgiving to those that are in bondage and/or have done things to hurt us. As we show compassion and forgivness to those that might seem as if they deserve it that peace flows from us onto them. This is the key to a working progress towards Go\ds world peace.

Peace outwardly expressed begins with peace inside. Truly the more we understand what we have received, the more we can in turn give away. I believe that is why the apostle wanted and indeed prayed for all of us to truly understand the depth and heighth and breadth of God’s love for us. Life is a journey and a process and no one will achieve perfection this side of heaven however if we can even begin to understand the sacrifice God made because He loves ME (emphasis on the individual) that if I were the last person on earth He would do it all over again, then whatever issue presents to us pales in comparison to that overwhelming love. I recently read a sentence that spoke volumes to my heart. . . not all roads lead to our God, but God would walk down ANY road to find me. When you embrace that love and peace, you cannot help but spread that outward. One person at a time, one family at a time, one community at a time. That is the closest to complete peace on earth that we will ever possess.

The best way to achieve peace on earth is to develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, our Lord & Savior. To do this you must not only study His Word, but also talk with Him, as the scripture says, without ceasing. This will develop agape love, the unconditional love, that God has for each and every one of His creations. When you have agape love, you will have no desire to lie, cheat, steal, covet, do or say anything that would intentionally hurt another person. In fact, there would be a strong desire to do just as we are instructed in The Word – help others, regardless of skin color, where they live, etc. That love & peace would fill the earth, everyone would know the love of God and develop a strong desire to have a personal relationship with Him and THEN JESUS would return!

They best way that I have found to bring about peace on earth is to look within. It is my belief that true peace cannot come from an outside source. As Jesus said, “The kingdom of God is within.”
Love will only abide where there is a desire for peace. When we allow others to influence us in ways which are detrimental, we are asking for turmoil and chaos to reign. Little children rarely do things to try to make themselves look good to others. They do not wear masks and act like they are something or somebody other than their true selves. My motto is “To thine own self be true.” There is a story of Jesus pointing to a child and saying “To such belongs the kingdom of God.” When we humble ourselves, turn to God, seek his face and abandon our wicked ways, then we will have done our part to bring peace on earth and good will to men, women and children.

For there to be peace in the world, first we must start with ourselves by asking ourself what is our demeanor? Do we love our neighbor as ourself? Are we humble? Are we tolerant? In order to be heard we must be examples of what Christ wants us to be. We must be in relationship with him, always keeping him in our daily essence, praying for his guidance and direction. Remembering that it is not our place to judge, as hard as that is not to do, and then to leave it in His hands, in His time…

Peace on Earth is an elusive hope. As Christians, we have a blessing which every heart desires … the love of the One who created us.
Yet, there are ways to advance peace in this age.
1. Learn from the past.
2. Accept the shortcomings of others, and ourselves; i.e., fostering
forgiveness.
3. Give others the ability to feed, clothe, shelter, and ensure
their health.
4. Recognize that Western ideologies can serve as an impediment to
peace.
5. The resources in the world are sufficient to meet everyone’s
needs, if war, apathy, and greed were reduced.
6. Noone is beyond the Grace of God.
For all have fallen short …
This Christmas, let us spread forgiveness:
a) in our families,
b) among our friends,
c) to those who have wronged us,
and we will experience peace.

The Bible plainly states the pathway of life and peace —-is to become “spiritually minded”, living our lives based upon what God has to say about every sitution that crosses out paths.
To become spiritually minded is to become Kingdom Minded!!
Kingdom Minded is becoming dependant upon God, placing circumstances
of life into His hands, through Faith and Prayer.
Faith is a “desperate dive” out of a sinking boat of “human effort”
and a prayer that God will be there to pull us of the water!!
Simply stated “TRUST GOD” with everything.
If we can’t trust our Creator with adverse circumstances we face, how
can we even obtain “peace of mind”?
Jesus tells us in the Word, He will never leave us or forsake us.
He is Faithful!!
Peace is obtainable in the earth through Salvation, heart change, faith, prayer, love, servant’s heart, intercession(standing in the gap) for other people’s needs, and Trusting God with His Word..
BLESSED IS THE PEACEMAKERS!!
BE BLESSED!

Peace on Earth a honorable way of life that we should base our everyday values on three Hundred sixty five days a year, but practiced by few.
Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall inherit the earth.Love thy neighbor as yourself. A kind word, a smile,reaching out a hand for those in need with out expecting anything back from them.
Lending a hand to that desperate cry for help, dropping to your knees to thank God for all your blessings.Not just today but tommorrow,each and every day.Remembering we all sometimes feel lost or in need but, I promise if you look around there is always someone, somewhere who is seeking,lost,less fortunate than yourself.
Thank God for your blessings for true peace comes within ones self. Through faith, understanding of his word.Believing his word but mostly
thanking him for all he’s done and is doing for you.
Be honest with yourself and others and peace will be found for once you’ve found God ,hope is found ,and true peace on Earth begins,
in your heart, your mind and your soul.Be an intecessor for others,
don’t be afraid to fall on your knees, that’s where true peace on earth begins, when we surrender ourselves completely to Christ.
Think about it, would’nt the world be a beautiful place if we’d just surrender all?Bless each of you as you seek true peace on earth. For it can be found if you LET GO, LET GOD!!

who does as Jesus asks us to do. We have a choice, but we must honor
“Him” by Loving “all humans” enemies too. Clothe all, feed all and tell all the story about Jesus and how all can be Saved. We must all become Desiciples for His sake. The Anti-christ would have a hard time deceiving Millions of Jesus’ warriors. Jesus needs us to bow to
Him and let Him know we Love Him and His. He loved us before we were
born, and loves us still just the way we are, and died for us on that
horrible rugged cross. The very Least we can do for Him is to die of
self and be reborn to Him for “Peace on Earth”. Jesus deserves our
Loyalty, Praises, Love and Glory. A most wonderful gift to our “King”.

I believe that the best way to achieve peace on earth starts with each person. I believe that if each person makes it their our person mission to be more Christ-like everyday we can be one step closer to peace on earth. I have lived my life believing the theory of “pay it forward.” I believe that if I live my life the best that I can the people around me will notice. Once that person notices they usually ask me why I always go out of my way to help people and I simply tell them that I believe that is what Jesus would have done in that situation.
One time I when I was in sixth grade there was a kid that used to get picked on a lot and I used to always stand up for her. It finally got to the point that the other kids started to leave her alone. One of the boys in my class, Jason, noticed that I would always stand up for her and he asked me why I would stand up for such an unpopular person. I just told him that I thought that is what Jesus would have done in my situation. He laughed at me and walked away. Through out the rest of the year when I would help people he would always say “Jesus, huh?” I would just smile and nod. The last week of school I had sprained my knee and I was on crutches and the elevator to my last class of the day was broken so I was struggling up the stairs with my backpack on through the mob of students. A student that didn’t like me saw me and pushed me backwards and stood at the top of the stairs, laughing. I fell down the stairs and my books spilled out of my backpack. The next thing I knew, Jason was helping my collect my books. He was friends with the boy that had pushed me and was the type that would normally stand there and laugh, not wanted to seem uncool because he was helping the person his friend had just picked on. I was a little surprised and just thanked him. He looked at me and smiled and said that he thought it was what Jesus would have done in his situation. The following year the WWJD bracelets became popular in our area and Jason came up to me and asked me if I had started it. I just told him that the Bible tells us to be Christ-like so WWJD started a very long time before I was born. Jason told me that he was still on the fence about the God and Jesus thing, but he did know that when he helped people like he saw me doing, it made him feel better about himself and he liked it because deep down he knew it was the right thing.
It may not happen as quickly as it did back then, but just by me standing up for an unpopular girl, there was one less kid that went out of his way to make fun of other students. It was small, but Jason and I were peacemakers in our school.

Ain’t gonna happen. The Synoptics all mention wars and rumors of wars. The Scriptures are filled with references to war and disagreements among men. Don’t see the Scriptures talking about the social workers of God, but the Army of God, which implies warfare. So, if that is the case, the children of God need to realize that we have been reborn into a Kingdom with a Lord and Master. And in that Kingdom there is peace, even though on earth the conflict rages. Our adoption and inheritance is peace in the presence of the King.

We are foretold that in the Bible – war is an ongoing aspect. The only “peace on earth” we will truly find, is within our hearts. Accepting Christ as our personal Savior and knowing His Kingdom will one day be our home…forever…is what gives true inner peace. This is an individual experience and we know that not all on earth will believe this – thus the impossibility of an entire earth at peace.

Peace on earth could be possible if we all followed/obeyed the two greatest commandments: love God with all our heart, mind, soul, and then love our neighbor as ourselves. But in the end, peace on earth won’t really exist as it should, until the Prince of Peace Himself, our LORD JESUS CHRIST returns. So we can pray as is at the end of the Revelation, “Even so, come quickly Lord Jesus”!

If more people would just use their manners, it could do wonders.

I believe that God wants us to treat each other with love. Our faiths may be different, but I believe God does not want us to judge someone because they have a different faith. Only through our example of loving one another, helping one another when we see a need, no matter
whether the need be big or small, can we be the people Jesus told us to be and then create peace in our own small piece of the world God created for all people. Do for someone whether they ask or not with no expectation of getting something in return. I believe peace can be given and received by showing a gentle soul, willing to overlook differences.. whether they be skin color, religion i.e. Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist or any other.

Jesus said we were to walk in love…His love does not take account of a suffered wrong. As the body of believers in Yeshua (Hebrew for Jesus) no matter what denomination we belong to we need to walk in love and look for what we can agree on. Then the world will see God’s love and unity and then true peace will come and Yeshua will return! So let us just start acting like God’s kids and start all playing together in Him!

2.down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.
3.No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him.
4.They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads.

I was a stranger and you invited me into your home. I was naked and you gave me clothing. I was sick and you cared for me. I was in prison and you visited me. Then the righteous ones will reply,’Lord, when did we ever see you hungry and give you something to eat? Or thirsty and give you seomthing to drink? Or a stranger and show you hospitality? or naked and give you clothing? When did we ever see you sick or in prison and visit you? And the King will say, ‘I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you did it to me.’”

Hard for someone to be or stay angry at you, be argumentative with you, to persecute you, etc., if you are all the while treating them better than yourself, putting them first and SERVING their needs; and PRAYING for them, as Jesus said we should do.

I do not think there will be World Peace until ‘The Lord’s Day’ arrives, (when Jesus set up His New Heaven and Earth). A person can have inner peace, calmness,and love for their fellow man or woman, even though the world is in an array of upheavel. If a person does their best to live by a few of Jesus’/God rules.
All Scripture written is from the ‘King James Bible’
1. Live by the TEN COMMANDMENTS: Exodus chapter 20.
2. THE GOLDEN RULE: Matthew Chapter 7, verse 12. “Therefore all things whatsoeveryou would that men should do to you, do you even so to them; for this is the law and the prophets”.
3. THE GREATEST COMMANDMENT: Matthew Chapter 22: verses 37-40. Verse 37, Jesus said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul and with all your mind.
v 38, This is the first and great commandment.
v 39, And the second is like it, you shall love your neighbour as yourself.
v 40, On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets”.
4. THE ROYAL LAW: James Chapter 2, verse 8. “If you fulfill the royal law according to the scripture, You shall love your neighbour as yourself, you do well”.
5. CHRIST’S NEW COMMANDMENT: John Chapter 13, verses 34-35.
Verse 34, “A new Commandment I give to you, That you love one another, as I have loved you, that you also love one another”.
V35, “By this shall all men know that you are my disciples, if you have love one to another”.
The word LOVE is the greatest. I also feel that a person has to have faith, hope,(obedience (to Jesus)), and charity. With Jesus/God’s Love everything is possible even Peace on Earth, with prayer and thanksgiving.

Peace on earth? Ah that would be so nice to have right now, wouldn’t it? Jesus is the only one who can bring true inner peace — something any of us can have this peace this very moment and continually no matter what circumstances we face if we turn to Him (see John 10:10 and Philippians 4:6-7). Jesus is also the only one who can bring “peace on earth”, and yet Jesus tells us in Matthew 10:34 and Luke 12:51 that He came not to bring peace but to bring division…Is he contradicting Himself? No, Jesus is telling us that those who don’t embrace Jesus will not just refrain from embracing Him rather they will be hostile to Jesus AND everyone who follows Him, thus there will definitely be ongoing, progressive division (as we see increasing so intensely right now in the media and throughout the world) until the day Jesus returns for us.

The only true way for Peace on Earth to be accomplished is for everyone to remember how Jesus lived on earth, how He behaved, what he taught not only to his disciples but to anyone who wanted to be whole, be one with God. Jesus led the way, he gave His life so that we as sinners could be one with the Father again like in Genesis times. If just one person showed one other person how to be closer to the Father,how to bring Him into their heart, and accept that He is the one true God, to mimic His actions, then we would truly have peace on earth.

Peace on earth is an attainable goal. The only true way to attain it is to quit looking to others for the differences that divide us and find common attrubutes that can join us. In any religion, there is a figure that represents pureness and virtue (Jesus Christ, the Prophet Muhammad, Buddha, etc..). This is the number one similarity that we all share. We need to use the examples that these people set and follow their path. None of them practiced hate, war, murder, or corruption; they practiced peace, love, happiness, and unity. For those that do not have a religious preference it should be easy to do what is considered right and respectful to all those that you meet. I think too much emphasis is places on the actual concept and practice of religion and not enough is given to the message that it implies.

Peace on earth will only be made a reality when Jesus Christ sets up His 1,000 year kingdom and then when God will create a new heaven and new earth. I don’t think it is peace that we need to strive for, it is not what is important. We should help others and reach out to all in need but that is so that the Glory of the Lord will be shown. The most important thing we can do is to love others as God loves us and to put others needs above our own. Die to self, Live for Christ and speak His word. That is the best way to strive for peace and in the end only God can give true peace. There is no peace because we are self centered, selfish beings who only care about ourselves. Often even when we do things that seem unselfish, we still often have selfish motives. Only through Christ Jesus will peace be attainable.

A way to achieve world peace is to be an example of God’s unconditional love for all people. To help someone in need, no matter if they are Christian or not. To hear people. To be tolerant of other people and share when God is leading you to share. I believe that we Christians should look at ourselves as equals and not look down on the world as if we are better than the non-believers. We should look at ourselves as being a true friend, and a guiding light. A ray of hope that comes from God.

Times are getting hard everyday we have to pray and keep in touch with our brothers and sisters and keep looking for our own salvation and to love one another no matter what, cause God loves is so powerfull that his love cover us with such a blessing and I am glad that I am one of his children.

There will never be peace on earth until the Prince of Peace returns and established His Kingdom here. Before that time, those who are called by His Name have a responsibility to love one another and demonstrate the peace that is possible through Jesus, the Christ.

The only way to achieve world peace is by the help of God. We as believers need to pray for EVERYONE. And no, not just pray. We need to get out there and spread the word of God. If people accept Jesus into their hearts, and when God begins to do his works in their lives, only then can they start the peacemaking process. So, the answer is God. He’s how world peace can come about. :0)

Peace will be attained on earth if Christ followers plant a little seed every day. Seeds of understanding, seeds of self-sacrifice, seeds of non-judgment, seeds of listening, seeds of embracing – with our arms and our hearts. Then when those seeds start to grow, we water and tend to them carefully, all the while planting more. With God love shining down on our little saplings, they have no choice to grow until soon the whole world is shaded and kept cool by the majestic trees that are on every continent, every country, every city and in every heart. I don’t care about the Christmas Cd, but if even one person that reads this is inspired to grant forgiveness or listen to a friend or do ” the right thing” when it is so very hard to do, I have “won my prize.”

We need to put Jesus back in our lives. Put Him in our jobs, homes,work, schools, and marriages. Follow the Bible and try to live the Chrisitan walk. If you have peace within yourself, it will be displayed outwardly for all to see. Peace can only come with God and thru God and by showing God’s love to all!

World peace can only be achieved by letting Christ shine through us as individuals. His peace and love can’t help but spread. “One little spark can start a fire”. We can set the world on fire for Him. Not with just words, but with our actions.

Even though I am an avid believer in Christ and believe that only by the grace of God can we be saved, I know that I can’t force people to accept Christ too. Peace is made by being willing to accept others despite not liking their choices. I can live in peace with those around me by, once having shared my testimony and God’s word, being a friend to anyone regardless of their choice. My responsibility is not to change people – that’s between them and God – but to love them. In this day and age, peace on earth is made by accepting that responsibility. When Christ returns, peace will again be what God meant it to be, just as our relationship with him will again be what he meant it to be. Until then, loving our enemies and doing good to those who hate us – Jesus said it – are the best tools we have for turning the tides and working toward peace on earth. Even the secular Christmas movie Miracle on 34th Street makes that point.

Eleven years ago I was diagnosed with fourth-stage breast cancer. I knew the Lord was on my side, because without His living grace I could not have made it though those terrible times. Doc’s, friends and yes family members knew I was going to die. But. I gave it all up to the Lord in my prayers and chanting his name. DMA

Getting back to the basics, and realizing that as children of God we cannot attain anything without his spirit guiding and instructing us. We are to live as Christ did and show love, mercy, and understanding for everyone. We need to get back to our first love and walk in the principles that have been given through the word of God. Breathing a refreshing new life into the troubled times. As individuals we can start right where we are and show the unconditional love for one another. It will spread if we all remember who created us and why. We need to know we are ambassadors for Christ. All we have to have is the faith of a mustard seed and believe that ALL things are possible. It just takes one person showing the love of God to change nations. God can and will work through his people to spread the gospel. He is the Great I AM and nothing is impossible with him. Peace starts with oneself and then spreads. It is and will be contagious.

The best way to achieve peace on earth is to practice peace and love towards all. What you give is what you will receive. If everyone practiced this very simple act, peace would flourish

The rest of the world would tell us that the best way to achieve peace on earth is to accept others’ religions and embrace our differences, yet most of the wars ongoing in the world today are based one religion versus another. Is there really such a thing as a “holy war?” It is man’s struggle for power, greed and desire to impose his own will on others that creates the divisions that end up in war. While we should never hate those who oppose us, we must hate the evil that comes from them, and continue to share God’s love, joy, hope and peace by being a living, daily example of Jesus Christ. For after all, He is the Prince of Peace.

The first thing that comes to my mind is when Jesus was born. I go back to the scene of Joseph, Mary and baby Jesus in the manger. The shepherds and wise men who came to worship God’s son. I recall the “Peace on Earth” because a Saviour was born. To find that peace here on Earth today will only be found when Jesus returns for the believers (the born again Christians). We are given peace in our heart and life when we give our life to God. Only God can give “Peace on Earth”.

Take care of our neighbor…which also means those who are in another country. It is hard to hate someone when you are taking care of them. But I suppose peace will not come until Jesus comes back. Becuase as long as there are the poor, the widow and the orphan somewhere on this planet we will not know true peace. As long as one child crys due to lack of food or one woman crys due to her husband this planet will not know peace. So we would need to take care of our neighbor as if it was ourself…and than love the Lord our God with all our heart our soul and our strength and the one way He wants us to show how much we love Him….LOVE OUR NEIGHBOR!

With kindness toward those we know and those we don’t (yet) know, we can achieve peace. It is so simple to choose kindness if we treat others in the way that we would like to be treated. A warm smile or an outstretched hand speaks more than words ever can.
