Jesus calls us to be united in our differences, to give hope to the world and offer peace to all we meet.
Peace is the treasure of treasures, the Pearl of Great Price, which Jesus purchased for all of us by dying on the cross. And just like Simon, Andrew, James and John, Jesus us is calling us to follow him in faith and in hope and to bring hope to those in need.
It won’t be easy and certainly there will be struggles and as the storms of life rage on, in the midst of it all, let us remember to thank God when things do not go our way because spiritual blessings are often wrapped in trials.
Let us trust and be confident as we continually strive to live in hope and be a beacon of peace for others.
