But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. James 3:17
We must look to ourselves and take full accountability before we look to blame another. Self examination is very healthy in the process of a believer and his/her walk with Christ. Many struggle with the simple words, "I was wrong" or "I am sorry". Sadly even more find it hard to say, "Forgive me". How are we able to heal, forgive and overcome situations if the parties involved are unwilling or unable to take responsibility for their actions? As a believer in Christ, we are bonded by our Father in heaven therefore we are called to be brothers and sisters in Christ, meaning we are family. So when there is discord or division among st believers, often time it is at the hand of the enemy for he comes to divide and destroy. We must rebuke this, protect these unions for we are stronger together than apart. We must fellowship with one another and lift up one another. The Bible calls it, "iron sharpening iron". Let us not conform to this world. Let us stand apart and show mercy and grace unto one another, instead of holding grudges and being stubborn. Let us show love like God. "Blessed are the peacemakers".
