Scripture for today

Mark 9:50 ASV

Salt is good: but if the salt have lost its saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace one with another.

Have you ever had a neighbour who just gets on your nerve or that colleague who you feel like punching in the face if she says another word? Living in the world which is full of hate and disappointment its really tough living in harmony with one another just as the Bible says. There came a time in my life when I had a friend who was just a crazy pain in my life. It was almost like everything I do was just a trigger for her bad and rash tongue. I could never do anything right. You might wonder why I didn't just discard her and move on but God has commanded that we should live in peace with everyone.

God has called us to live a life of peace because he is a God of peace himself. Christianity is a relationship and when you are highly connected to him there won't be strife amongst us. Its painful when I see Christians quarrel and have strife because I know from God's word we are commanded to live in peace with one another. Love is the word, singles. Live in peace with those people who lie against you, who steal stuff from you, who accuse you falsely and even don't see the good in you.

Prayer: Father, help me live in peace with everyone.
