As we continue the Advent season, Matt Inman reflects on how the love of God brings us the peace of God [Philippians 4:4-9].

Reflection

Who has loved you really well and helped you appreciate your real self?

Who in your life is out beyond their comfort zone right now and needs gentleness and love?

Spiritual Practice

When you feel like yourself or a family member is close to their edge, introduce a gentle mercy into the dynamic.

Take the emotions and thoughts you had during today’s clip and bring that into your prayers this week.  Where might the love and acceptance of God bring a greater sense of peace?

Where do you feel the peace of God in your life? Write out a list of who and what helps you turn your focus back on what is good and true.
