Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace.  And be thankful.  Colossians 3:15 NIV

Life itself is just an amazing journey, when you think we all start off in the same place, as infants. No matter what nationality or language, for most of us we start off being cared for, which gives meaning to our relationships.  But we all discover that many of our relationships become tense, even in families, so we continue to change or look for new relationships, which all affect our attitudes and emotions. So in the beauty of God's grace we have to learn something, it is called “Let.”   This is an encouragement to willingly allow, desire Jesus Christ's peace to take conrol of your heart, guiding emotions and thoughts.    For this to happen we have to let the will of God have his way. That's what the Holy Spirit is saying in Romans 12:2 NLT - Let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think..." With that willingness, Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts.  This can start us off again in a new place where we can learn joy in the midst of our life and its opportunities. Since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.  It is here where relationships can be healed with the joy of peace. Today let in the peace that our Lord has for you.    Allow your will to be refreshed in his peace and you will have expressions, emotions and words that bring encouragement to others as well as thankfulness to you.  Enjoy!
