🔸️ We must not lose our Peace with anyone! 🔸️

Every child of God must have the good testimony that no matter how hard one tries to find any argument with this child of God, he will never find it in him.

The message of Romans 12:18 is: "I will be at peace with all men." If peace is to be affected, the only reason is to be someone else's fault! Under this situation, we can be sure to live in peace with any human in the world!

To be peaceful does not mean that we should be agreeable with everyone. It is a regrettable truth that although we are called to be peaceful with all, we are not able to reconcile with someone when they stand contrary to the truth. It is true that we must stand firm for the truth. But we should never argue or fight for it. 2 Timothy 2: 24-26 makes this clear. We read that "the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful. 

Opponents must be gently instructed in order to know the truth....." So while we stand firm for the truth, we should never strive to argue and fight like many are doing today. We must be stand for the truth, with grace and gentleness!  

The glory of God found in Jesus Christ is not simply "He is with full of truth" but "He is with full of Grace and Truth" (John 1:14). So, as far as we ourselves concern, it is possible that we can always be at peace with others!

 Prayer:

Heavenly Father! Thank you for your teaching that my peace is not depending on others, but it leads to live in peace with others forever! In the name of Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.
