Marriage Love 208
“A state of peace is the state of the Lord’s kingdom. In that state the Lord’s heavenly and spiritual blessings seem to be in their dawn and their springtime. Peace resembles dawn at the break of day and spring in the greening of the year. The dawn and the spring cause the senses and everything that touches them to be filled with joy and gladness. Each sensation draws its effect from the overall effect of the daybreak and the blooming of the year. It is the same with the peaceful state of the Lord’s kingdom. In that state, every heavenly and every spiritual feature enjoys the flowering laughter of its springtime dawn — that is, its most genuine happiness. A state of peace affects every feature this way because the Lord is peace itself.”
