We live in a world characterised by conflict. From sibling rivalry to civil war, we see the effects of animosity in every part of life. But the Bible calls each one of us to peacemakers – in our closest and most personal relationships, and also in our communities and in our world. As we open the Bible with Melissa in this devotion series, may each one of us be filled with Holy Spirit power, courage and comfort to enable us to be agents of peace in a world that badly needs it.
