At Peace With All
When Paul said, "If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone" (Romans 12:18), what did he really mean? How much are we supposed to give of ourselves? I find it hard to believe that Paul, of all people, meant for us to "not make waves" and do whatever we can to make people happy. How do we know when to let others push us and when to push back? What does peace really mean in this context? Hmmmm.... I welcome your thoughts.

Hmmm....good question, Sis! I think Jesus demonstrated that balance amazingly! He didn't let other people push Him around and He always spoke the truth, but He still demonstrated such incredible love. I don't think there's one way to address all people, but if we let God's love shape our responses, then I think we'll at least get closer to doing it right!!!
I love you!!!!!!
