There is a peacefulness that comes from listening to the fathers advise
Quoting: Neim-Ya'shar Thanks for your reply.
I humbly agree.
Scripture speaks of not just any kind of peace. It speaks of a peace which surpasses understanding, as it is written.
Now if peace can surpass understanding, and that peace only comes from The Father, then peace seems to be a greater way. Surely it will be reflected in a man thoughts and words and actions.
Such a peace would seem to draw a man away from contention and strife and quarrels and endless debates.
Draw him towards desiring such a peace for oneself and such a peace for ones neighbor. that he and they may fulfill the greatest commandment of loving our neighbor as ourselves.
May you have a peaceful Sabbath OP.
