Peaceful Hearts, Peace Minds, Peaceful Actions 

“(Go into the world) with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.” - Ephesians 6:15

We must undergo  a type of transformation in order to effectively fight for the lives, communities, and world we desire. 

First, we must have peaceful hearts. We no longer desire to heap destruction on our enemies. We no longer seek retaliation and revenge. We take no joy from their suffering. We love and pray for them even as we stand against the evil things they may do. 

Second, we have to have peaceful minds. We move away from an “us versus them”mentality. We move away from zero sum thinking where in order for us to win someone else has to lose. We understand that no one truly wins unless everyone wins. 

Lastly, we have to learn peaceful actions and reactions. We are not called to be passive bystanders to injustice and inequality. We must learn to speak and act in ways honor the humanity of all. 

I’m Horace McMillon. This is 60 Seconds of Hope. Peace be with you.
