In a moment, someone's comment, an unfair decision, or a personal attack can leave you feeling wounded. In that instant, bitterness can take root. Decide now to intentionally uproot bitterness before bitterness uproots you.

Offense is everywhere, and it will inevitably be thrown our way. What we choose to do with that offense is up to us. Remember, living offended is a choice. Let go of the offense and enjoy God's miracles.

It is up to us whether we keep our eyes focused on ourselves when pride shows up in our lives. Or we allow the Holy Spirit to guide us and humble us as well as surrender to trusting in God's plan for us!

The words or actions of others have hurt us all. While the pain of conflict is real, God has given all of us the potential and ability to walk in forgiveness and embrace reconciliation.

Why is it so difficult to live in peace with others? As Christ-followers, we are called to express our love through our actions by actively pursuing peace. Let's choose to respond not with words but by living in peace with one another.
