Peace is something that we are not just supposed to want, it's something we are to work towards making in the world, and yes, even in our own relationships.
Have you ever noticed that when you try to assume what another person's motives are that we are often wrong? Even when we know a person well, we can't read there mind or know exactly why they do everything they do.
What if, when someone upsets you, instead of trying to assume their motivation you instead invested in getting to know them? Building a relationship with them. A relationship that honors God.
How do we keep relationships healthy and whole? By investing in them. And when do relationships sometimes weaken? When we stop pursuing the interest for the relationship, the peace of the relationship and instead go our own way.
This is just one example of everyday peace. What does pursuing peace look like in your life?
