While you are proclaiming peace with your lips, be careful to have it even more fully in your heart.

Francis Of Assisi
About This Quote

The Bible says that while you are proclaiming peace with your lips, be careful to have it even more fully in your heart. People who say they are peaceful but let their emotions run wild, are not living the way of Jesus. Jesus said that we must love everyone, but not everyone loves us back. This means that we should love our enemies, but not all our enemies love us back.

We should love all people without condition, but not all people love us back. Love is something that is given out freely and is something that can be taken away if someone does not reciprocate. If you proclaim peace at all times but do not have it in your heart then this is considered hypocrisy.
