We hold out the olive branch when we want to make peace. It is a sign that the troubled waters are over, that the issues that divide us can cease, that we have given up our sinful struggle and that we desire to settle down and rest.
This is what happens when we confess our sins and repent. God hears us. He forgives. He holds His olive branch out to us. Take it. Stop striving. Settle down. Rest.
