Many of us likely want to live in peace. However we cannot find peace simply by avoiding conflict. As I recently read, "If we avoid conflict to keep the peace, we start wars within ourselves." How can we find peace without starting wars within ourselves?
God calls us to live out His love. We are also reminded to be peacemakers. While we may not agree with the people or events around us, we need to find ways to get along. We do not have to compromise our values. Instead, we need to ask God to help us live in ways that show His love and promote an uncompromising peace that only He can provide!
Allow God to show you His love and to help you lead for peace!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for the peace and love that You bring to my life. Help me to show others the peace and love that You have to share. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
