Midweek Inspiration:
Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.
Hebrews 12:14
Pretty difficult for myself...
When one of my friends received this and referring to my difficulty statement, he responded with...
Yeah it is. The biblical mandate though is to "make every effort ".
Put this together with Romans 12:18
If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.
Romans 12:18
As much as it depends on you. That is we are asked to do what we can. The other side may not choose peace but we are mandated to make the effort.
Holding onto anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other the person to die ......
"When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, "I used everything you gave me."
