Peace – we all want it. Â But what is it?

a : freedom from civil disturbance
b : a state of security or order within a community provided for by law or custom <a breach of the peace>
2:Â freedom from disquieting or oppressive thoughts or emotions
3:Â harmony in personal relations
4   a : a state or period of mutual concord between governments
b : a pact or agreement to end hostilities between those who have been at war or in a state of enmity

— at peace
: in a state of concord or tranquillity(“Peace.” Merriam-Webster.com. Merriam-Webster, n.d. Web. 5 Dec. 2013.)
Yeah, that is one way to look at it. Â But I believe there is more. Â Peace is more than a state of harmony, more than a freedom from war.
I believe Peace is a Person – Jesus Christ. Â
There can be NO PEACE without Him.

Unfold Your grace
Like my favorite quilt
Wrap me in mercy
As my life is rebuilt
*
Stitch me together
With love as the thread
Squares of life’s journey
Joined end to end
*
Bring warmth to my family
An heirloom passed down
Generation to generation
Peace quilted with down
