COLOSSIANS 3:15

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

TO PONDER

By definition, Christians are to love one another and offer loving service to Christ as the peace of God enters into our hearts and rules our lives.  We can deploy our God given abilities in many and varied ways in our professions, our families, our neighbourhoods and communities but we don't always use them to serve God or others. With the peace of God directing us, we should use our skills and abilities in ways that serve God well.  God calls all Christians into His peace and into one body, one church through which he uses us to bring his light and life into all the world.

PRAYER

Lord Jesus, help me not only to put off those attitudes and behaviours that separate me from you but also to clothe myself with attitudes and actions that reflect who you are to the world. Help me to be thankful for all that you have done for me and to daily work towards unity and peace with others. Amen.
