Thus says the Lord: For my house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples.
Isaiah 56:7

God loves and welcomes all people of every race, culture, nation, age, gender, lifestyle, and socioeconomic status equally and without exception.

Today I will examine my life and discern where I have been unwelcoming to any of God’s people. I will ask the Holy Spirit to open my heart that I may be a welcoming and loving presence to everyone I encounter.

Blessed by the peace of Christ

Peace I Leave with You!

Jesus said, “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give it to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid.” John 14:27

The peace of Christ assures me God is in charge, that God loves me and sustains me in everything. I have no need to be anxious or afraid. I am safe in the heart of God.

Today I will fully and completely receive and accept the blessing of the peace of Christ. I will let the light of Christ’s peace shine upon, in, and through me wherever I am.
