There are times when a misunderstanding can lead to conflict and unrest. As Ernest Hemingway said, "When people talk, listen completely. Most people never listen." As we truly listen to each other, we may find we are trying to say the same thing or that we have more in common than we originally thought. Once we start to truly listen, we can do what we can to live at peace!
God calls us to live at peace. In the process, we may need to listen completely to each other. We can continually learn from God and rely on Him as He guides us. While we may not agree with everyone, we can live in ways that show God's love, compassion, and forgiveness. We can depend on God to help us, whenever possible, to live in peace with everyone!
Follow God, show His love, and try to live at peace with everyone!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for Your love and guidance in helping me show Your love to live in peace. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
