“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God".
Matthew 5:9
If a brother or sister has hurt you, do not harbor anger or resentment, but instead go to him or her and resolve the matter. It can be done with grace driven by the power of the Holy Spirit. It does not have to be confrontational or uncomfortable. Ask the Lord to go before you and He will. He will bring unity among you. The devil wants division in the church and in the body of Christ and when we walk away from others in anger without trying to forgive and show mercy, then the enemy wins. We must forgive seventy times seven when someone wrongs us. (Matthew 18:22) This world gives up so easy on marriage, friendship, pregnancies, children but the bible tells us to count our blessings for they all come from our Lord above. If your circle are believers in God and together you are serving Him, furthering the kingdom, sharing the gospel, then expect attacks to come. Adversity is his middle name. Conflict and strife are his first and last name. Don't let the enemy win but instead fight back in love. God's love. There is victory in Jesus and we are all His children. So let us remain together in love. Let us speak life not death. Do not gossip or spread untruths, but instead speak truth and life into one another. We are all one under the family of God so let us be one and let us glorify Him in all we do. What an amazing testimony it will be. Forgive one another today!
"Pay attention to yourselves! If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him," Luke 17:3
