Peace: Someone has said, “peace doesn’t mean that you will not have problems. Peace meansthat your problems will not have you.” Jesus said:“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 13:33 Call on …
Forgiveness: We are never more like Jesus than when we serve, give, forgive, and extend grace to others. “Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone.
