Verse from Romans

“可能的话,总要尽你们的所能与人和睦。”
罗马书 12:18

“If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men.”
Romans 12:18

There is beauty in even the most difficult person if we can get close enough to discover it, and the pain they’re giving out may be reflective of the pain they are feeling. The apostle Paul says in Romans, “If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone” (12:18). We can ask God to help us be patient with the “hard side” of others. This doesn’t always produce a happy outcome, but it is remarkable how often God redeems these relationships.

As we encounter difficult people, by God’s grace we can see and love them through His eyes.

By Your grace, Lord, 
help us to live peaceably with others. 
And help us to recognize when we are the difficult person in other people’s lives and need Your intervention. 
Give us the will and desire to change.

Peace can come if we respond with a gentle answer.
