Peace Shared

Peace & Stillness

Scripture

Colossians 3:15

“Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.”

Devotion

Peace is not only personal but communal. When you experience inner peace, you help create peace in your relationships and communities. When you choose words of peace instead of conflict, when you extend grace instead of judgment, when you forgive instead of holding grudges, you are an agent of peace. Scripture teaches that you were called to peace—not just as an individual but as a member of a body, a community. Your peace contributes to the peace of others. Your inner calm affects the people around you. Be a peacemaker.

Today’s Step

How can you be a peacemaker today? Where is conflict that needs peaceful resolution? Where can you choose words and actions that promote peace?

Prayer

God, let the peace of Christ rule in my heart. Help me to be an instrument of peace in my relationships and communities. Help me to choose peace over conflict, grace over judgment, forgiveness over grudges.
