Jesus came and stood in their midst
and said to them, “Peace be with you.”

John 20:19

What the Lord wants for us is peace. Peace in our hearts. Peace in our families. Peace in our communities. Peace between countries. Peace for all people everywhere.

Today I will receive the Lord’s gift of peace and intentionally give it away to anyone I meet wherever I may happen to be. May I reflect the peace of God in my thoughts, words, behaviors, and actions.
