Devotional Reflection
HopeFear
It's not enough to stop doing bad things. We can get rid of the bad things in our lives, but if we don't actively go after the good things, a worse evil will fill the space (Matthew 12:43-45). Let's be a group of people who want to do good and want to "wage peace.
Prayer
Father, let me be a way for You to spread peace. Use me to show Your love and grace where there is hate. Use me to bring healing, forgiveness, and comfort to places where people have been hurt, sinned, or broken. Please, Abba Father, put Your good work through me in my world. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
