Practicing Peace

If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Romans 12:18 NIV

Some people think that following Jesus is a mystical adventure and are drawn to that, while others think it is mystical and it turns them off from following Jesus. The reality is that following Jesus is more practical than mystical.

When we receive forgiveness from God, we gain peace with God. If you experience this, you will also want to be at peace with those around you. This week, take some time to evaluate your life and consider if there is anyone you are holding a grudge against or if they may be someone who is angry with you. Ask the Lord for help to bring peace to these relationships and do what needs to be done to restore peace with other people in your life. We cannot live in peace with God if we are the cause of conflict with others.
