Peace on Earth!?! What does that mean? Everyday we either pray for peace, or we rely on the "Washington Leaders". To have actual peace...is it possible? I think back to when Christ was born. The world stood still, even the animals. The king had arrived! But it only lasted a short time. To this day, that is the only time this earth has experienced peace. Jesus Christ had come to save us and due to us being so wrapped up in ourselves, we forget the reason for the season. I went shopping during the holidays and experienced hate, rudeness, and even (on the Television) death. We continue every day in the same patterns. What is it gonna take for this nation and world to be peaceful? Answer. The return of Christ. As great as that sounds, its not so great. Growing up we all heard the famous lines from our parents..."don't make me come down!" Well that is what God is trying to say to us every day. If Christ has to return, its because we failed to take care of one another like we should. But even though we may not be ready, He could return tomorrow. Are you ready? I'm not. I need to get things straight in my life just like everyone else. I want God to look me in the eye and say "Thank you son...you did well" But at this time I can tell you, He won't be saying that. So, I've got to get right with the world, tell everyone about Him, show the love of God, and live in peace with myself. Today I live and think of verse Psalm 122:8
