Finding Inner Peace
Inner Peace, how do we find
it?
Is it real, attainable,
or is it only a dream? A fantasy?
A hunger deep inside us, in our
soul
that is unexplainable
to anyone
who has never felt it.
It's not unhappiness
in the true sense
of the word.
Can't really be called
discontent,
merely a deep emptiness that we
feel
yet there is nothing to fill
it.
I wondered if everyone felt it,
the
emptiness, the hunger, the need
or if only a
few had needs
beyond the
"ordinary".
I think that each of us
are very
different in our needs.
Some of us accept
from the very
beginning
the things we can have,
and the things
wecannot.
We accept what life
gives us
and don't even question
if there can be
more
because we are afraid
if we do
question,
we will find
we have missed a lot of living.
We were content, safe,
in the world we had
created.
And we were afraid if we wanted
more,
admitted to needing more,
and tried to attain it,
we would fail.
So by not searching,
by not trying,
we eliminated the risk
of failure.
Better safe, content, not
questioning,
than to admit to needs
and fail to
attain them.
I questioned it all,
not the material
things,
but the inner content,
the calm
acceptance
that some showed
to whatever life dealt them to cope with.
The acceptance, comes from faith.
Faith
in yourself,
faith in our God,
and faith
that there will be a better tomorrow.
Faith in the basic goodness of
people.
A firm belief that our God does love
us.
He watches over us, cares for
us,
and with faith and patience,
we do find the "inner Peace"
we sought for so
long.
Faith that we are loved,
by someone who may yet to be
found,
but loved fully and unconditionally
for not only what we are,
but all we hope to be.
Faith that as we are not
perfect,
neither are others.
Faith that as I accept the imperfection
in others, they too will accept
mine.
Yes, Inner Peace is achieved
by questioning, by searching for
answers
and after finding the answer,
absolute, complete Faith
that miracles DO happen,
that God is watching over
us,
and that there is
A Season For All Things.
