Grace, mercy, and peace, which come from God the Father and from Jesus Christ—the Son of the Father—will continue to be with us who live in truth and love. 2 Jn. 1:3

It might be easier to live in truth and love if there were no conflict or  trouble. It might be easier to enter into dealings with other people packing grace, mercy, and peace if some of them weren’t packing pride, anger, greed, and selfish agendas. This verse isn’t for sissies.

Lord, let Your grace, mercy, peace, truth, and love prevail in my heart, my words, and my decisions no matter what I may face that opposes them.
