God's universal love for all people lets us know that they are all called to salvation and to live in peace without which nothing is possible and which is an essential element for a life in harmony threatened by feelings of bitterness which sometimes starts from nothing and then takes on a considerable scale which is very difficult to remedy due to an accumulation of frustrations or trivialized dissatisfactions which over time take over reason to the point of encouraging people to express their bitterness in such a way as to encourage divisions because they have the feeling that what they have been victims of in the past is proof that they are not full members of a whole when that is not the case.
The divisions are the consequence of a significant set of facts that should not be trivialized. In this kind of situation where strictly speaking no one is really innocent, it is better to recognize that we are all guilty and start again on new bases because wars do not benefit anyone. But this moralizing discourse is reserved for those who still have the decency to listen and speak without condescension in a world where God's love for all Mens encounters daily obstacles created by Men himself and which God must provide solutions through Men. Indeed, if we can say of God that He is omniscient, it is because He has the capacity to be everywhere at the same time in order to manifest His benevolent love in a concrete way through Men. In other words, if Jesus will return soon or if he will return one day, in the meantime it is up to Mens and those who call themselves children of God to remedy themselves, with the help of the Most High, a situation that they have themselves created and which will always have satisfactory solutions whatever the time because even when all attempts at appeasement and repair do not bring the expected fruits, God always intervenes in favour of those who fear Him through Men because His project of salvation for each Men not only does not aim to contribute to the death of the innocent, and even less that of the guilty.
The path to peace or the choice of returning to peace
To achieve peace or to reclaim it when we have lost it, we must already get on the same wavelength. Concretely, it is about recognizing oneself as being a member of the same family, the same Nation, a democratic State where everyone or almost everyone has the right to say what they want and what they think for the good of the whole without however running the risk of being worried and above all, that there is above all a sincere dialogue not with Men but with God because it is the best way for Men to ensure that his reason takes over feelings of bitterness which sometimes lead him to resort to violence to seek justice when it is a solution which never brings anything good even if it can sometimes be explained by legitimate reasons. Indeed, when we do not get on the same wavelength which we assimilate to the fundamental element of a good scientific approach, the rest is useless. Failing to reach an agreement with Men, we must put ourselves on the same wavelength as God and He will do the rest. By doing so, we are part of the peaceful resolution of a conflict so as to no longer be satisfied with worldly truces which are certainly necessary, but not entirely satisfactory since suffering and hatred remain. Furthermore, truces are fleeting moments which are not very often taken seriously because they come from Mens who sometimes show a blatant lack of sincerity. But the peace that comes from God is lasting not only because it allows us to get on the same wavelength with God from the point of view of the abasement of our own person, but also because it allows us to put ourselves on the same wavelength as Mens because it is together and by the grace of God that we can concretely materialize our desires or our will to put an end sincerely to conflicts and wars.

The gospel of Saint John tells us that when Jesus was preparing to leave this world to go to his father, he said to his disciples in the 27th verse of the 14th chapter this: “Peace is what I leave with you; it is my own peace that I give you. I do not give it as the world does. Do not be worried and upset; do not be afraid. » (Good News Bible with Deuterocanonical Books)
How many people today live in fear and turmoil in the world, in Africa and in Cameroon in particular because of a peace in total contradiction with that which comes from a God who would like us to recognize each other as firstly as members of the same family so that despite the differences in points of view, we still strive to find together a way to demonstrate common sense. Who is this sane being who could put an end to the life of his fellow Men without feeling remorse? When we love, we do everything not to hurt the other because by hurting them, we are doing it to ourselves; hence the importance of adopting the peace that God offers. A peace that comes from Him because He loves us and because He recognizes Himself as member of the same family as many Men, and would also like many other people to be members of this same family because like Saint Paul made it known to the Christians of Galatians in the 8th verse of the 6th chapter of his letter, “For the one who sows to his own flesh shall from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit shall from the Spirit reap eternal life. » (American standard Bible 1977)
In other words, as the 4th verse of the same chapter indicates, “you should each judge your own conduct. If it is good, then you can be proud of what you yourself have done, without having to compare it with someone else has done. » (Good News Bible with Deuterocanonical Books)
Men will always be responsible for his actions whether they are good or bad; hence the need to act taking into account the well-being of each person because what God wants is a peace that promotes an inclusive We of unity in diversity to promote and foster the prosperity of peace in a world where all people recognize themselves as members of the same family sharing a common home, which must be maintained in peace despite disparate threats and not an exclusive We which goes against republican values respectful of the dignity of others because it excludes the other and would like at all costs to achieve its end even if it takes decimating an entire population to achieve it. But “for what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and to lose his soul? (Mark 8:36 – Berean Literal Bible)
Can we remain in peace when the tears of others demand justice and reparation for the harm we have done to them? Certainly not!
God offers us His peace to be at peace with ourselves but also with others because when we sign peace treaties, we choose lasting solutions because through the suffering of others, we see our own suffering; that is to say, what we do not want to be done to us. If it is always Men who is at the origin of conflicts and wars, it is still He who suffers the consequences which He Himself must mitigate or stop with the help of the Most High if and only if he is willing to join the dynamic of peace proposed by the one who always takes the first initiatives in order to resolve the daily problem of Men in general and all those of those who are called to collaborate in the salvific project of God in the present world.
