As Gracie Hart said (Sandra Bullock’s character in “Miss Congeniality”), “I really do want world peace!”
Will the day ever come when every person on earth is at complete peace with every other person on earth? Reconciliation on such a scale is God’s business. Face-to-face connection, understanding, and relational commitment in one’s realm of influence is our business. By joining the Peace Corps, I hope to live up to the challenge as the borders of my realm are expanded.
President Kennedy established the Peace Corps in 1961 to promote world peace and friendship through 3 simple goals:1. Helping the people of interested countries in meeting their need for trained men and women.2. Helping promote a better understanding of Americans on the part of the peoples served.3. Helping promote a better understanding of other peoples on the part of Americans.
What about you? How are you doing in your role as an ambassador for Peace within your realm of influence? Do you have peace in your home? More importantly, do you have peace in your heart?
