"Peaceful Reconciliation" 

Colossians 1:19-20
"For it pleased the Father that in Him (Jesus) all the fullness should dwell, and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross."

The only true and lasting peaceful reconciliation we can attain in this life or the next is through His atoning blood. It glorifies and pleases God that we find peace. His peace, the kind that passes understanding. In order to find peace, we must have a way to deal with sin. We are battling in a fallen world and the struggle is real and intense. We must be able to get into His presence so we sense Him dwelling in us. Then we must accept His reconciling grace over whatever it is that conflicts us. This necessitates our yielding, acquiescence and even surrender over and over again. We must claim or reclaim the ground or progress He has made for us. As the phrase says, Let go and let God. I pray today that you will know His peaceful reconciliation.

In Him,
Pastor Fred
