Deciding to be a peacemaker
When there is actually do dispute going on around you, always be aware that there are three lines of action you can actually take.
You can either stay out of it, takes sides or make peace between the quarrelling parties.
It can really be a difficult situation at times to be a peacemaker but deciding it will really pay and will really be the best situation.
God expects his children to pick the option of really making peace at all times. When you are known as a Christian and you really want to portrait yourself to people around you as a Christian, people respect and trust your judgement.
Hence it would be of great effect if you attempt to make peace, between quarrelling partied.
Your involvement can avert a lot of things like a full blown fight, a Kong period of malice or an resolved disagreement.
If getting involved to make peace can have this effect, why be indifferent.
Do you really know that you could even be the one involved in a quarrel. At such times in that particular situation.
I implore you to always choose the side of peace.
Always look for a way in which both yourself and the other party can settle the matter amicably or peacefully.
This will or may really be difficult to do as it may result in you forgoing some benefits so as to let peace reign, but when it is the right thing to do
Imagine walking by the road and you see me arguing violently with someone.
If you know me very well, you are likely to conclude that it is just a look alike and can't be me.
But if it happens to be me, then you would be greatly disappointed by my behavior.
That is how baby Christians and unbelievers look at you too.
They believe that as a christian, you should act like Christ and he is not quarrelsome.
Rather, He commanded that we should love our enemies by quarreling, you have really show the world a wrong example of how a true christian should behave and God forbid that they carry on with that.
Many people have decided against becoming saved because of how they saw some so called Christians conduct themselves.
Don't deter someone else's salvation.
Fighting for your right can never be worth as much as a persons soul.
Choose and decide to be a peacemaker as from today.
It is the best thing that you can ever choose, the best decision and the best way to live.
Instead of deciding to be a troublemaker, be a peacemaker today and you will see how it really pays.
It will be better for you to be remember as a peacemaker instead of a troublemaker.
Are you really deciding today to be a peacemaker.
