Pursuing Peace
Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification.—Romans 14:19 (NIV)
When you feel as if you aren’t good enough, reflect on this verse. You are loved by our almighty Creator. Release yourself from negative thinking, wishing that you were different, better at this or that—and rest in the beautiful fact that God gave you special gifts and unique experiences to share with the world.
Dear Lord, thank You for reminding me that I am wonderfully made, created with joy and purpose by You.
Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification.—Romans 14:19 (NIV)
Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, he said to them, “Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.”—Mark 6:31 (NIV)
So you delivered them into the hands of their enemies, who oppressed them. But when they were oppressed they cried out to you. From heaven you heard them, and in your great compassion you gave them deliverers, who rescued them from the hand of their enemies.—Nehemiah 9:27 (NIV)
