Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Colossians 3:15
In studying for this devotional I dug for scripture about peace. My search led me to realize most ‘peace’ centered references tell of the earthly, air to air, living color moments with Jesus, the very essence of Peace on earth.
I am getting old. This involuntary process has caused me to prioritize things, decide what is worth my effort and energy and what is not? I found the only thing I’m really willing to invest in is Peace. Quality of life begins and ends at reconciliation with the world and all that is in it.
Paul was not a disciple. He got up every morning with one mission: Put an end to Christianity. Hatred, anger, malice….these were the motiving emotions that drove Paul’s every thought and behavior. Then, God stopped him…..and gave him Jesus, the Christ, peace.
My wish for you is my wish for me. Peace on earth, good will toward all men.
Love,
Gretchen
