Peace Can Coexist with an Unfinished Story
Full Text
Peace does not require me to deny danger, grief, injustice, or uncertainty. Biblical peace is the presence of God within reality, not escape from reality. I can experience moments of rest and joy even while the story remains unfinished. Receiving those moments does not mean I have stopped caring. I am permitted to live, love, worship, and hope while I wait for resolution.
