The Symptoms of Inner Peace

Be on the lookout for symptoms of inner peace.
The hearts of a great many have already been exposed
to inner peace and it is possible that people everywhere
could come down with it in epidemic proportions.

This could pose a serious threat to what has,
up to now, been a fairly stable condition
of conflict in the world.

Some signs to look for:

A tendency to think and act spontaneously
rather than on fears based on past experiences.
An unmistakable ability to enjoy each moment.
A loss of interest in judging other people.
A loss of interest in interpreting the actions of others.
A loss of interest in conflict.
A loss of the ability to worry.
(This is a very serious symptom.)
Frequent, overwhelming episodes of appreciation.
Contented feelings of connectedness with others and nature.
Frequent attacks of smiling.
An increasing tendency to let things happen
rather than make them happen.
An increased susceptibility to the love
offered by others as well as the uncontrollable
urge to extend it.
Any such symptoms should be reported
to the authorities immediately.

"Come to me, all of you who are weary
and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you,
because I am humble and gentle,
and you will find rest for your souls.
For my yoke fits perfectly,
and the burden I give you is light."
Matthew 11 28-30 NLT
