Conflict is a reality in all of our lives. Countries are at war; we experience conflicts in our day to day lives at work and at home; we get in a disagreement with someone on our drive home etc. etc. Sometimes we may even feel like we are at spiritual war. In all of these situations, it can be difficult to find our connection with God.

And yet, at the heart of Christianity is a clear message of reconciliation. Through Jesus Christ we have forever been reconciled to God and in light of and in response to this gracious truth we are called to work for reconciliation in the world.

Verse for Meditation: Colossians 3:13

Action: Reflect on your life. Think about the areas that are in need of reconciliation. It may be a relationship – whether its with God, a friend, a relative, or a co-worker. It may be ways that you need to reconcile with yourself or a situation. Give special attention to one of these areas today, ask God to help you to find peace with the situation.
