Be at peace

If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.
Romans 12:18

We live in a world that is not peaceful. People are rushing and busy and angry. We are quick to get our feathers ruffled and unhappy when our 'rights' are violated or we are discomforted in some way.  We expect others around us to make us feel loved and happy. 
The problem is we are all imperfect people.  Only God can give us the happiness and contentment we are yearning for. Only God can rescue us from our selfishness and discontentment. When we look to people for that instead of God we will be disappointed everytime. Which will only lead us to more discontentment, more unhappiness and anger. 
Look to God for your happiness. Look to God for your comfort and you will never be disappointed. Only then can we truly live at peace with those all around us. 

Blessings.
