Are you looking for peace externally or internally?
Where are you seeking peace? Are you looking for peace externally or internally? When you are feeling stressed or down what is the first thing that you do? Do you reach for your phone? Do you reach for your favorite drink? Do you go for a run? Until we understand that peace can only come from with in, all we will ever receive are temporary escapes or fixes. These temporary fixes can be dangerously habit forming. We'll reach for the fix all the time, like a drug, instead of dealing with the situation. Also, what happens when our escape mechanism is not available when you are in dire need. Will we be able to cope? Some of us may even reach for unhealthy options (such as drugs) when seeking peace which will only make our situation worse. We may end up with an unwanted habit and a lack of peace.We must all learn peace comes from within. The body is the holy temple where the spirit of God exists. When we learn to tap into this through (prayer and meditation) we learn that we can take or have peace anywhere we go. Seek peace internally.
