“Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.” — Jesus in John 20:21

These words remind us that peace is not something we keep to ourselves. It is something we embody and share through compassion, mercy, justice, and love.

💭 Where might God be sending you to bring peace, encouragement, or hope this week?
