4 Steps to Peace

Seems like a pretty tall order….Just 4 Steps to Peace….really?   Yes, really!

Peace in the true sense of the word does not come from the world, it comes from within.  Through a deep, abiding sense of well-being that comes from your divine and loving Creator God.   I like to call Him, Papa God.  

Now, with that said, you may be wanting to run for the hills, or at least go run and hide.   But I ask you to pause, take a deep cleansing breath, and as you are inhaling and exhaling I want you to think of one thing you are thankful for.   You see, inner peace starts with our thinking, our mind, our heart, our thoughts, when our thoughts are focused on worry, can create feelings which can send us on a wild ride of anxiety.

However, their is a better way!  

Let me unpack the 4 Steps….

Don’t worry about anything
Pray about everything
Tell God what you need
Thank God for all He has done

Here’s the deal, If you do this, you will experience God’s peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand.  His Peace will guard your heart and mind as you live in Christ Jesus.  Really and truly!

Are you always scurrying about, keeping busy?  Trying to fix everything on your own?  Left with little or no time to just pause and get quiet.   Reflect on even one thing you are thankful for.   If you can’t think of one thing, here’s one.  So start with God’s really truly LOVES YOU just the way you are. Did you know you are created in the image of God for love and good works?  Has anyone ever told you that before?  Let that settle deeply inside of you.  Repeat it to yourself. [...]

Interdependent ~ Interpersonal Intelligence

Interdependent relationships – We are triune beings
We are spirit-soul-body and live fully in interdependent relationships

Reflecting on a recent seminar I attended in San Diego … ERQ: strategies for promoting emotional & relational intelligence – relational & personal competence it has given me a lot of food for thought. The field of interpersonal neurobiology is an emerging field of expertise that intrigues me immensely!  The class focus overall was about interpersonal neurobiology.

My thoughts here are not necessarily a summary of my notes or the course notes – but more an overall contemplative processing.

Intertwining – imago inter-relationship with God, The Divine.

To separate ourselves from The Divine, Our Divine Creator, is separating ourselves from ourself. To divide ourself from the divine is living a divided life, out of sorts, out of balance and harmony. 

The Divine came into the world to bring abundant life for humanity by being reunited, renewed, redeemed and transformed into our original imago Divine nature. (John 10:10b)

“If the Holy Spirit controls your mind, there is life and peace.” Romans 8:6b
“Through the power of the Holy Spirit (of the Divine) – you live. For all who are led by the Holy Spirit (of the Divine) Spirit of God are children of God. ” Romans 8:13b

“For His Divine Holy Spirit speaks to us deep in our hearts and tells us that we are God’s children.” Romans 8:16

As intertwined-interdependent beings our hearts become more whole as we draw nearer to, not away from, our Divine Creator in pursuit of oneness and wholeness within abiding in Him.

Peace Be With You!
