Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord. Hebrews 12:14
We must handle ourselves with grace when another comes against us. Whether we are falsely accused, we are a part of another's gossip or simply being treated unfairly without cause, we must seek the Lord and pray. Pray for those that trespass against you and give them to God. I will ask Him to forgive someone for they may not know what they are doing. It is easy for us to react and fight back but how greater is the testimony than when we allow the Lord to fight our battle? We must glorify God in all we do so in keeping the peace we will be blessed for "blessed are the peacemakers". (Matthew 5:9) Hold your peace by guarding your tongue.
