Day 20 – A Peacefire Accelerant & God's Restoration Process

Devotional

When conflict burns like a wildfire, it’s easy to respond with anger or avoidance. But God offers a powerful accelerant that transforms conflict: His agape love. This love, described in 1 Corinthians 13, is patient, kind, and forgiving. It's the love Christ showed us on the cross while we were still sinners (Romans 5:8). As ambassadors of reconciliation, we are called to carry this love into conflict, not to win arguments, but to pursue restoration. God's path includes confrontation, confession, and forgiveness—all led by love, not pride. When we approach others with grace, humility, and the presence of Jesus, we reflect the heart of the Good Shepherd who seeks the lost sheep.

Reflection Question:
Is there someone God is calling you to lovingly confront in hopes of restoring a broken relationship?

Prayer:
Lord, help me carry Your love into conflict. Teach me to confront gently, forgive freely, and seek restoration just as You have restored me. Lead me in Your way of peace.
