“A time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace.” We live in a messy, complicated world. It can be hard to know when to speak up, when to act, when to wait. But as followers of Jesus, we are reminded: The time is always right to do the right thing. Jesus offers us this promise: “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” — John 14:27 Join us as we reflect on God’s timing, Christ’s peace, and the courage to live with love and integrity—even in uncertain times.
