“Yes Johan, it’s not about you. We get to work through you. And we work for you. You get to rest in our labor and see all that we can accomplish without you even lifting a finger. Try just letting go and see what we can do. First of all you will experience peace. That is one of the first fruits of life with us. Peace. And it’s peace because you discover you are not under judgement and you get to act without any pressure. You do things just for the joy of serving. Joy. That is another of the fruits of letting us be God. This may surprise you Johan, but you really aren’t that good, you know. But you don't have to be. We love showing how good we can be when you aren’t. Oh and in case you forgot, that is what we call grace. We have heard there is a podcast that is grounded in it. Maybe you should listen to it and see that your Lord really is good. And good for you! So you don’t have to be. Then you will discover another of our fruits, love. And we want you to be full of it, love, especially when you are with your Thanksgiving friends and family tomorrow. Love from us, your Gang on the ground and actually everywhere.”
O LORD, may you ordain peace for us, for indeed, all that we have done, you have done for us.
Isaiah 26:12
Finally, brothers and sisters, rejoice! Strive for full restoration, encourage one another, be of one mind, live in peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you.
2 Corinthians 13:11 NIV
Righteous Lord, you have promised to swallow up death forever. With this promise we can live in peace with one another. When conflict erupts in the community, may we turn to you for help to absolve one another. Let us overcome strife with the blessing of love and peace upon our brothers and sisters. Amen.
