A father wanted to read a magazine but was being bothered by his little girl, Shelby. She wanted to know what the United States looked like; he tore a sheet out of his new magazine on which was printed the map of the country. Tearing it into small pieces, he gave it to her and said, “Go into the other room and see if you can put this together. This will show you our whole country today.”After a few minutes, Shelby returned and handed him the map, correctly fitted and taped together. The father was surprised and asked how she had finished so quickly. “Oh,” she said, “on the other side of the paper is a picture of Jesus. When I got Jesus back where He belonged, then our country just came together.”
When our country puts Jesus where He belongs, we will have peace as it says in John 16:33, “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace…” And in Isaiah 32:17, “And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.” A perfect example of this is found in 4th Nephi when everyone was living the gospel of Jesus Christ, “…and there still continued to be peace in the land”. And from latter-day revelation in Doctrine and Covenants 59:23, “But learn that he who doeth the works of righteousness shall receive his reward, even peace in this world, and eternal life in the world to come.”
