Scripture: Romans 5:1a
Therefore, malady since we are justified by faith, search we have peace with God.

Thought for the Day: Peace with God is more than just peace of mind. Peace with God is soul changing. Our hearts melt with love and compassion. I think of peace with God as living in God’s love more fully and consciously, physician more often–being literally enveloped by love.

By first paying attention to our spiritual selves, a calm comes over the rest of our lives. We become more focused, more centered, more able to complete the task at hand, because our day is guided by our conscious relationship with God. That conscious communion with the Divine brings peace to our souls, love to our hearts, and energy to our spirit so that all we accomplish is from love. And in so doing, we love others equally, and praise God by paying the love God shows us forward.

Prayer: Grant me the awareness to be with you throughout my day, Holy One, so that I might find peace with you by my side, and love for others in my heart. Amen.
