PURSUE PEACE

When we agree we are powerful, but when we allow strife to enter into our lives (home, marriage, workplace, church...) we open a door to the enemy of our soul. If you are at odds with someone about twenty things, find the one thing you do agree on and build on that. Instead of desiring to always be right, make it your goal to always be reconciled. Give God a place to work in the relationship. You will not be sorry.
"Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace." (Ephesians 4:3)
"Can two walk together, except they be agreed?" (Amos 3:3)
"The LORD said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them." (Genesis 11:6)

"Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it." (Psalm 34:14)
"For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work." (James 3:16)
"Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification." (Romans 14:19)
