Preparing for Peace This Morning

My dear son,

I want you to enjoy living at peace with people today. May your heart look for ways to share life well together instead of making plans to outmaneuver someone. That desire for peace is precious to me.

Peace sometimes requires an important conversation. Ask what needs to be clarified and untangle misunderstandings calmly. Make time both to hear the other person's words and to express honestly what is on your heart.

Tell me about the people you will meet, and prepare a kind word for them. You can speak respectfully while disagreeing. I will give you wisdom as you choose truth and seek harmony in the conversations that shape your day.

With all my love,
Your Father

Proverbs 12:20

WEB

20Deceit is in the heart of those who plot evil, but joy comes to the promoters of peace.

A short reflection

Proverbs contrasts deceit in hearts planning evil with the joy found by those who counsel and pursue peace.
