*Peace Is Possible*
What does holy living look like? According to the teachings in the New Testament, it’s living in accordance with God’s Word. Holiness means saying “no” to wrong actions, and seeking forgiveness when we do make mistakes. It looks like putting aside any selfish interests in order to pursue the good plans God has for the world.
The writer of the letter to the Hebrews encouraged his readers to “run with perseverance” while stripping off anything that might slow them down or trip them up *(Hebrews 12:1-2).*
The author of Hebrews says, *Holiness gives others a window to see God in our lives.* It also gives us the opportunity to love others the way Jesus would love them. As we pursue a relationship with God, the way we interact with people should change.
The author of Hebrews describes God as the God of peace *(Hebrews 13:20).* If our desire is to obey God and be like Him, then we should make every effort to live in peace with everyone.
When we live with anger or bitterness toward others, we’re unable to show them the love of Jesus. A love that sets us apart and shows off God’s glory.
Living at peace with people does not mean that we have to love everyone the same way or blindly accept misconduct. But, it does mean that we make an effort wherever possible to generously seek wholeness, reconciliation, and forgiveness—actions that lead to peace.
Let's take a moment today to consider our relationships with others. Are our relationships marked by anger or bitterness, or are we living at peace with others? If there is someone in our lives we have not forgiven, let's make an effort to begin to make things right. Considering how we can live a life that aligns with God’s Word, so that others can see God working within us.
*Prayer For Peace With Others*
Father God, You invite us into a peaceful relationship with You—where we can be fully known and loved. You also invite us to pursue peace with others. Father, help us to approach our relationships with grace and wisdom. Grant us the knowledge to recognize when we should speak and when we should listen. In Jesus’ Mighty Name, Amen.
