Grace and Peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

When we choose peace, we create a space for love, compassion, unity, and human dignity, allowing healing to thrive in our heart, the INNER PEACE. Peace as a way of life is not only the absence of conflict but a deliberate pursuit of harmony, justice for all and empathy where differences are resolved with the spirit of love, humility, patience, respect, dignity and kindness. It is a transformative journey that starts within the heart of an individual and extends to others by cultivating a mind and heart free from bitterness, anger, negativity and fear to LET IT Go with the intention of healing rather than hurting others.

Living a life of peace really requires seeing the humanity in others, listening deeply to understand different perspectives and context in resolving differences with patience, and promoting reconciliation with a compassionate and resilient heart.

We all ought to be PEACEMAKERS by becoming bridges and healing ingredients in families, communities, and societies. Embracing peace as a way of life doesn't only represent a positive reaction to given circumstances but a proactive conscious choice we make to coexist together for the glory of God in every situation.

Peace is a way of life. Let us live it.
