Therefore let us pursue the things which make for peace and the things by which one may edify another

Isaiah 57:19

Therefore let us pursue the things which make for peace and the things by which one may edify another- Rom 14:19

Whenever we see someone in pain, bruised, bleeding we rush to aid even if they are strangers. We are moved by people’s ordeals through life-threatening illnesses and support them in any way possible. However we are completely oblivious of individuals in our lives walking around with emotional hurts, disappointments, and offenses that can really debilitate them. They are dejected, alone, bitter, and entirely unhappy. We may or may not be the cause, but we can definitely reach out to mend, soothe, and encourage.  Our Lord took the first steps to reach out to each and every one of us sinners, so why do we hesitate to forgive and love our brother. There is no place to argue on who’s right, for we have all been forgiven and are called to forgive our brothers seventy times seven. Easier said than done, you may think but His power is made perfect in our weakness and He will enable us through His grace to obey His word and let it go! Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the sons of God. Step out to pursue peace, take time to smile at a neighbor, inquire of a co-worker, appreciate a loved one, or bless a relative in need. Our actions speak volumes and draw people to Christ more than we realize. Just like a ray of sunshine piercing through the storm clouds, positive words can uplift the weary spirit, so make a difference to someone today! Have a great day. God Bless.
