The Meditation
Some people seem to think that peace on earth
will come through passing and enforcing world
law. This will indeed give a necessary peace, as
a framework in which we live. However, we
must remember that human law is only the
half-way house; it can never bring the deep
abiding inward peace with God wants us all
to have.
It is one thing for a man to obey the law because
he is afraid; it is quite another thing for a man
to obey the law because He loves the law!
We have the chance to get people to love what is right.
We will find it is much easier to get people to
love each other when they both love the law.
The love of man-made law brings outward peace!
The love of God’s laws brings inward peace—the
peace that passes all understanding and all
misunderstanding!
