Day 40

Today is the final day of Lent.  But will it be my final day to be nonviolent?  I hope not.  Today’s Scripture (1 Peter 3:8-12) gives me some incentive to stay on the course of peace.  I’d like a long life filled with God’s blessing, fulfilling relationships and happiness.  And if I’m seeking peace and pursuing it, I’m not only going to get a blessing; I’m giving a blessing to those around me.  Others will benefit. Doing justice, loving mercy and walking humbly with God will bring joy to the world.

Fellow travelers, don’t become weary in working for peace.  In due time, we will reap a harvest.  We shall overcome…someday.
