The Peace We Want
Illustration★★★★Not an idle dream, but an energizing reality. Not mere cessation from strife, but ardent, courageous fellowship. Not born of fear and cowardice, but begotten of hope and sacrifice. Not negative, anemic, passive, but positive, vital, passionate. Not based on policy and selfishness, but the fruit of conviction and service. Not bought at any price, but won at heavy cost. Not the submission of the weak, but the bestowal of the strong. Not just conserving moral values, but achieving spiritual victories. Not the peace of man, but the peace of God.
The point
True peace is not passive or fearful but active, courageous fellowship grounded in sacrifice and conviction, not policy or selfishness.
