Reconciliation is the restoration of peace. Peace with God, peace with others and peace in your own heart. it is the powerful miracle cure for broken lives and relationships. Reconciliation defuses conflict and turns chaos into calmness. It quiets quarrels. It trades your stress for God's serenity, turns tension into tranquility and produces peace of mind rather than panic or pressure. But the spirit of reconciliation seems to be in short supply in the world that we live in today.
