Topic: live at peace with all
Scripture: Romans 12:18
“If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone”.
Peace is a state or condition of the heart not an attitude. It is a state of stillness and serenity, of freedom from disquieting, agitating, anxious thoughts and a condition of harmony in relationships.”
From the above scripture, peace is a verb denoting, joining together again that which has been separated.
When things (or people) are disjointed, there is lack of harmony and absence of an inner sense of well-being. When things (or people) are joined together, there is a freedom from inner turmoil.
The bible tells us to live at peace with everyone because not doing that causes more damage even if you ain’t the reason behind the chaos.
To remove unnecessary data that drains your spirit and soul and makes your heart heavy, try your possible best to live in peace with everyone.
But there is a problem…
When it comes to apologizing for things you didn’t cause just to ensure there is harmony between two parties one must become a “fool” because two “wise” people can’t move together.
A lot of us try to do this but do not find enough courage for it and because we see no reason to settle issues with another when we didn’t start the fire so we prefer being at loggerheads.
But that’s draining!! It might not be physically but deep within you, there is discomfort.
Well, you haven’t been able to because peace is only possible through Christ, so in effect, you cannot be at peace with men if you are not with God.
Seek Him now and let Him put His peace in your heart.
Blessings…
Prayer
1.Thank God for your life.
2.Ask for forgiveness of sin.
3.Ask God to put His peace in your heart so that you will be able to give it out.
4.Thank God for an answered prayer in Jesus name,amen.

Strangely, I’ve always been one quick to reach out to make amends, but often the other person is not ready and I am left a bit resentful after trying. But still I know it’s right. I think now apologizing must be customized to fit the love language of the person receiving.
