Peace. It's something everyone deep down wants. Why wouldn't we?! Who really likes conflict, turmoil or anything else that is the opposite of peace?!
We want peace in our home lives and work lives.
We want peace during war time and peace in the world overall.
We want peace within ourselves as we face much turmoil in this life.
We want peace in every circumstance, however, the peace society has bought into isn't true peace because it's based on shifting standards.
So, what is peace and what is the Spiritual fruit of peace? How can we experience it? Do we have a responsibility to pursue it or can we go on "auto pilot" and let the Holy Spirit do it all?
