This Daily Meditation from the Henri Nouwen Society hit the mark for me, perhaps it will for you too.
"I think for peacemaking it is so important that we are home, that we know to whom we belong.
Jesus says it very clearly; he says: “You do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world. Therefore, I am sending you into the world as my Father has sent me into the world.” You have to catch the paradox: that we can really be in the world, involved in the world, and actively engaged in the world precisely because we do not belong to it, precisely because that is not where our dwelling place is. Precisely because our home is in God, we can be in the world, and speak words of healing, of confrontation, of invitation, and of challenge."
