It depends on you
Romans 12:18 If possible, so far as it depends on you, live in peace with all people.
It’s always best to live at peace with people. Although with some people, it seems as though that’s not their goal.
Living at peace with others is not always possible. Sometimes people make it very difficult to live in harmony. The reasons could be that either, they don’t like you, or they that are simply combative people.
Strife causes stress and can make people sick. So, peace should be our goal.
But living in peace with others is not always entirely their decision. We have something to do with the issue, as well. The Apostle Paul made this clear. Peace can just as much, depend on us as well upon others.
Most of the time, we have most of the power to decide to live at peace with those around us. Do you want peace? Are you a peacemaker or peace breaker?
Matthew 5:9 tells us that we are blessed if we decide to be “peacemakers”. The added bonus is that we shall be called, sons of God, if we identify as peacemakers.
Hallelujah
