11 August 

Finally, brothers, rejoice. Aim for restoration, comfort one another, agree with one another, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you. (2 Corinthians 13:11, ESV)

If you knew the time you would last see a group of people that you loved dearly, what would you say? Paul concludes this letter to the people of Corinth with that mind. The thing most on his mind was peace. The peace he is challenging everyone to have begins with the God who created and sustains real peace of spirit. Strive today to realize that peace in your soul.

Prayer: Lord, help us to bear Your image by allowing the world see the Church getting along.
