We don’t have a word in the English language that covers all the meanings encapsulated in the word shalom. It means more than peace; it incorporates ideas of wholeness, completeness, balance, healing, well-being, tranquility, prosperity, security and justice. These words reflect the sort of transformation offered to everyone–God’s fullness of life.
In the world we find broken relationships, sin, and a subsequent lack of shalom; but in God’s kingdom, he will bring shalom, because he intends for all relationships to be restored according to his good and perfect creation. As Christians we are called to play our part modeling it to the rest of the world. Our call is to live in Christ and reveal this shalom: to show the goodness of the Kingdom to come.
Response: Thank God for evidence of his transformation in your life and in the lives of those you love. Ask God to draw your attention to something that he is longing to transform in the wider world and pray for transformation.

About this Plan
The more we pursue God, the more we want to strip away the clutter that distracts us from Him. This collection of studies, compiled and adapted from writing by Tearfund contributor Sarah Wiggins, has been brought together to help us to consider what it means to truly (and simply) live life in all its fullness.
