How To Live In
Peace!
"So all of us who have had that veil removed can see
and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord—who
is the Spirit—makes us more and more like him as
we are changed into his glorious image."
2 Corinthians 3: 18
Perhaps you have a small mirror in your purse and a
full-length mirror at home. Both reflect the light. It’s like
the home and the Church.
A godly home should be a
miniature version of the Church, and the Church is a
larger version of a godly family.
In either case, a crack in the mirror mars the image.
Broken relationships don’t reflect the Lord’s glory as
well as healthy ones.
As much as possible and as far as it depends
on us, we should live at peace with everyone
(Romans 12:18).
At home and in church, that requires sanding off
the rougher edges of our responses. Differences
don’t have to become difficulties, and unity does
not require uniformity.
Is there a rough edge to your personality
that needs smoothing before it leaves
a
scratch in the mirror of your home or
church?
"I have never known the Spirit
of God to work where the
Lord’s people were divided."
D. L. Moody
