Let's Talk About Violence and Peaceಮಾದರಿ

Middle school isn’t easy, is it? From homework to friends, to practice, to church, to family—there’s a lot that demands your attention. Add to that things like drama with your friends, gossip in the hallway, fighting with your family, breaking up with your significant other, and well… peace feels hard to come by in this phase of your life. That’s where Jesus’ message can help us. True peace, according to Jesus, isn’t just the absence of conflict but the presence of unconditional love. As you navigate the highs and lows of middle school, consider the impact of God’s love in your life. Embrace the challenge to extend kindness to those who challenge you. Let your actions bring a little peace!

Today, commit to showing love to someone around you (maybe even someone you find hard to love!) It could be a simple gesture, a kind word, or a prayer for their wellbeing. Take a step to share love and bring peace this week!
