APPLICATION

Have you ever noticed that every time you start to argue with someone, you walk away frustrated, angry, disappointed or bitter, even if you feel you have won that argument? The enemy’s desire is to separate us from God and from one another. I know of relationships built up over many years, severed over one argument that could have been avoided. God tells us that if we seek peace, we will be blessed. Watch out for those arguments! They start quickly and accelerate even quicker. Remember, Jesus offers peace to all. His peace.
