Peace Be Unto You!

    On July 13th, 2013, George Zimmerman was found not guilty in the murder of Trayvon Martin. This incident caused emotions to roll and hatred to be spread. But on this evening I would like to quote just one verse from the bible and it simply says "These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." - John 16:33

    This incident has created and uproar in the country and division is quite evident. But I just want to say regardless of how you may feel about the situation, PEACE BE UNTO YOU!!!! In my eyes there is no reason to lash out and say whatever may come to mind. As a young African American man I understand the frustration but do not let your frustration overcome you. If it is change that you seek, then like everything else you must work for that change. Do not let your disappointment in the judicial system make you hate people and what you consider their lack of understanding. Peace Be Unto You. Learn to let go and let God.

    With anything we have to lean towards peace. Peace in how we talk. Peace in how we interact with people. Peace within our families. Peace in how we live. Now peace is not easy to achieve but anything worth having will be a challenge to gain. But lean towards peace anyway. We have to learn to have love in our hearts even when we know love is the furthest thing on our minds. They say only love can conquer hate. Can you believe in that? Can you put aside those hard feelings toward somebody or something and love them? Or is it simply just impossible? In this world you shall have tribulations...But be of GOOD CHEER!!!!

    I wont drag this on because I believe that my point has been made. When we can get to that place where we learn to call in peace instead of hate and anger and work for the change we wish to see, we can do unimaginable things. Don't let these circumstances define you, but let them inspire you to reach for greatness!!!! Become better because of that terrible situation. Learn to see the truth in the midst of your storm and the Blessing that is about to take place.
