As I continue to slowly go through “The Imitation of Christ”, I was excited when I saw the title of the next section “Four Things That Bring Great Peace”. It said that Christ offered these things to bring us freedom and peace:

Try to do the will of another rather than your own.

Always choose to have less rather than more.

Always seek to take the last place, and to be subject to everyone.

Always desire and pray that the will of God may be fulfilled in you perfectly.

These are challenging statements and actions for sure. But, the more I thought about how Jesus lived, the more I realized he did exactly these things. And He was the epitome of freedom and peace. If I truly desire peace, this is the path that has been laid out.

I Found God today in a path to peace.
