Peace and Sight

What detracts you from having peace with God? What keeps you from seeing God?
Often we do not have peace with God, because we are not at peace with the people around us. Sometimes we do not see God because we have sin in our lives that separates us from the holiness of God.
The author of the Book of Hebrews encourages us to, “Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord.” (Hebrews 12:14, ESV).
Being at peace with those around us and striving for holiness helps us to be at peace with God, and to be at peace with others, and helps us to see God clearly and to be at peace with God.
May we strive for peace and holiness in our lives so that we will be at peace with others and so that we can see God and share God’s peace with others.
A Collect for Mission: “Lord Jesus Christ, you stretched out your arms of love on the hard wood of the Cross that everyone might come within the reach of your saving embrace: So clothe us in your Spirit that we, reaching forth our hands in love, may bring those who do not know you to the knowledge and love of you; for the honor of your Name. Amen.” (Book of Common Prayer, 2019).
