AC 8455 - the dew in the morning

AC 8455
"Dew" signifies the truth of peace
because in the morning it comes down from heaven
and appears upon the herbage like fine rain,
and has also stored up in it
something of sweetness or delight more than rain has,
whereby the grass and the crops of the field are gladdened;
and "morning" denotes a state of peace.
. . . peace is . . . is like dawn on the earth,
which gladdens minds with universal delight;
and the truth of peace is like the light of the dawn.
This truth, which is called "the truth of peace,"
is the very Divine truth in heaven from the Lord,
which universally affects all who are there,
and makes heaven to be heaven;
for peace has in it confidence in the Lord,
that He directs all things,
and provides all things,
and that He leads to a good end.
When a man is in this faith,
he is in peace,
for he then fears nothing,
and no solicitude about things to come disquiets him.
A man comes into this state
in proportion as he comes into love to the Lord.

[2] All evil, especially self-confidence,
takes away a state of peace.

[3]  Tranquility of mind, content, and gladness from success,
are relatively nothing;
for these affect only his externals;
whereas peace affects the inmost things of all . . ..
