Today, 15 Aug is the anniversary of Japanese Surrender in the World War II. In Japan, there are nationwide anniversary activities, most of the slogans they used are "Let's bring peace to the world!" Widows of the dead Japanese soldiers said, "There is nothing good could war bring to anybody!"
When I watched JapaneseTV news seeing a secondary student reciding a poem in asking for peace of the world, her tearful eyes inspired me to think of : "What is the one step before we could see the peace of the world?" My answer is : "Peace among people, peace in family, peace between the relationship of the smallest cell of two persons and peace in individual's mind and heart."
Through out my past years of discipleship, I recognise that reconcilation with our Father God is the beginning of any awareness, faith and strength in knowing what is PEACE. With the peacefulness in our mind and heart, supported by God's unconditional love and endless resources, we could live in life with peace and love. From there, the relationship we establish among people and with our nature would be in chain of the same substance and be sustainable.
I, therefore, do not believe any peace of the world could be realized unless we have peace in individual's mind through the reconcilation with God. Then, how do we nurture our children in this aspect. Are we modelling the core value or are we still in full or as part of the hatred relationship? I would like to repent to grow as the very first tiny step to bring peace to the world. Amen!
