Good Things Happening on the Korean Peninsula-Is Peace Within Reach?

Praise God good news is finally coming from the Korean Peninsula. I have been praying for the conversion of Kim Jong-Un, because I feel for those in North Korea who are not free to worship God or attend religious services or have have their basic needs met. And tonight I saw South Korean President Moon Jae-in and Kim Jong- Un on TV,  meeting in the Demilitarized Zone between the Koreas and shaking hands, just like friends would do. It was a very encouraging sight.  Their meeting will hopefully open the possibility and likelihood that Kim Jong-Un will meet with President Donald Trump.
Pope Francis has praised the summit this week between the two Korean leaders and urged them to "have the courage to be artisans of peace."
Peace in the world, peace on the Korean peninsula would be a great move forward for humankind. The Pope said that the summit would be, "a concrete route toward reconciliation and regained brotherhood with the aim of guaranteeing peace on the Korean Peninsula and in the entire world."
And in the entire world............the peace and love of God in the entire world. That would be a miracle! The world is certainly ready for peace, the poor people of the Middle East, Africa, and other countries who have been mired in conflict for decades desperately need peace. Children have suffered for so long, in too many places in the world, because of civil wars.
Lord send your divine guidance, your blessings and wisdom upon all leaders of the world so that peace may prevail and solutions found to age-old conflicts and misunderstandings.  Amen.
