Be at peace to give peace

Sometimes you want to fix the atmosphere, but you carry a continuous battle inside: pride, guilt, resentment, comparison, or fear. That inevitably comes out in how you treat others. Seeking inner peace is not locking yourself within. It is letting God bring order to your heart so you do not unload your wounds onto others. When a person begins to be reconciled with God, with oneself, and with one's story, one becomes more capable of uniting. Peace received can be shared.
