· Matthew 5:9
Peacemaking can begin close to home. Refuse to pass along an unkind rumour, clarify a misunderstanding or ask for a calmer conversation. Peace does not mean hiding harm; it means working toward truth and care together.
A question to sit with
Where can I reduce unnecessary conflict?
One small step
Check a misunderstanding directly and respectfully.
Pray
Lord, guide me toward a peace rooted in truth. Amen.
