Perfect Fear Casts Out Love

Continued from Page 1

The peace of the world is going to depend on leaders who can help to diffuse the dangerous potential of masses of people who are full of fear and anger. Relationships build trust. With trust you can solve anything. Peace is not just the absence of conflict; it is the presence of harmony. We can all play our part to break down barriers one person at a time.

We can work to build good relationships with people different from ourselves without compromising our beliefs, and without pretending we agree. This simple idea has the potential to transform the world politically. Politicians respond to public opinion. The attitudes and actions of thousands of ordinary people can help to shape public opinion.

People everywhere want the same things: they want to be able to worship freely, they want access to opportunity, and they want access to good education and healthcare.

Jesus said, "Blessed are the peacemakers." The world needs people who make themselves available to demonstrate unconditional love, which changes people's hearts.
