“…walk in all his ways, to love him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, … for your own well-being.”
When we think of creating a peaceful world with children, we need to let the children take the lead. Children can show us how to create and enter into this peaceful world.
For many reasons, children, more than adults, are able to listen to the wise words, “for your own well-being.” Children inherently understand that loving, serving, and following God is a way of deep peace. They inherently understand it is for their own and others’ well being. We as adults so often forget that God’s teachings are good for us, are what is best for us, and are what will indeed bring peace.
I pray, let the children show us. Amen.
