peace...

Philippians 4: 2 Now I appeal to Euodia and Syntyche. Please, because you belong to the Lord, settle your disagreement. 3 And I ask you, my true partner, to help these two women, for they worked hard with me in telling others the Good News. They worked along with Clement and the rest of my co-workers, whose names are written in the Book of Life. 4 Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again—rejoice! 5 Let everyone see that you are considerate in all you do. Remember, the Lord is coming soon. 6 Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. 7 Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.

we need to learn to live in peace with one another.. we argue.. we judge... for what? who is it we think we are to determine what others are to do or not to do... yet we get angry about their decisions.. it seems to me.. especially when it has nothing to do with you... that we really need to get over ourselves..

in the scripture we are taught that God gives us peace.. we take our own peace by constantly worrying about someone else...

let us lay down all strife.. all this dissension... let us all pick up peace.. live our own lives.. stop worrying about someone else's life... live in peace and in unity.. in love.. as God has directed us.. in Jesus name.. Father teach us to live in peace and unity and love as this is Your will.. amen.amen.amen.
