"Finally, brothers and sisters, rejoice! Strive for full restoration, encourage one another, be of one mind, live in peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you." 2 Corinth 13:11
We pray for peace in the world; for the safety of those being persecuted for their faith; for the well being of those whom we love. We pray for a lot of good things. It seems all good on the surface. Yet, even within the church there is often division and divisiveness.
St. Peter encouraged the Corinthians to work together with one mind; with the mind of Christ. When egos come to play within a congregation or community, divisiveness comes with it. The only will that ought to be done is the will of God. His will is that brothers and sisters in Christ live in peace so that He might be glorified. His desire was that we should be reconciled, in peace, to Him and to one another through His Son, Jesus the Christ.
May the peace of the Lord be with you all.
God's Peace - Pr. J
