Peacemaking

Peacemaking

If you are presenting a sacrifice at the altar in the Temple and you suddenly remember that someone has something against you, leave your sacrifice there at the altar. Go and be reconciled to that person. Then come and offer your sacrifice to God.

Matthew 5:23-24

May God, who gives this patience and encouragement, help you live in complete harmony with each other, as is fitting for followers of Christ Jesus.

Romans 15:5

Is there someone in your community with whom you are not in harmony? What steps can you take today to work toward peace with this person?

Could you apologize for your part in a dispute? Ask for forgiveness? Pray for this person? Work toward a compromise of some sort?

Consider whether God may be asking you to take the first step toward reconciliation.
