Reading prompt · World English Bible

Arrive

Paul addresses a community learning to put on compassion, kindness, humility, patience, forgiveness and love.

Read the surrounding paragraph before returning to the featured verse. Notice what comes before the familiar words and what faithful response follows them.

Reflect

Paul addresses a community learning to put on compassion, kindness, humility, patience, forgiveness and love.

Peace rules in one body, so it is more than an inward feeling. It shapes how differences are carried and how gratitude resists rivalry.

Make one peace-serving choice that preserves truth, dignity and the shared good of the community.

The page leaves room around the words because reflection does not need to be crowded. Colour as much or as little as helps you remain attentive. The aim is not a finished art project, but a truthful meeting between Scripture and the life you are actually living.

Pause and notice

A few questions to sit with

What communal practices surround peace?
Where is peace confused with avoidance?
What choice could serve truthful peace?

Pray

Faithful God, meet me in Colossians 3:15. Give me honesty about its context, wisdom for my own circumstances and courage to put its truth into loving practice. Amen.
