An Island of Peace – Reflections on Christmas Eve 2015
“An Island of Peace” by Howard Thurman
“There is in every person an inward sea, and in that sea there is an island and on that island there is an altar and standing guard before that altar is the ‘angel with the flaming sword.’ Nothing can get by that angel unless it has the mark of your inner authority. Nothing passes ‘the angel with the flaming sword’ to be placed upon your altar unless it be a part of the ‘fluid area of your consent.’ This is your crucial link with the Eternal.” (Meditations of the Heart, p. 15)
My prayer for each of us is that your altar is filled with all the love and peace that God offers… My second prayer for each of us is that the evil and darkness of the world will be banished from our altars and from the world…
Wishing you all the blessings of this holy season ❤️
