Things that promote peace!

I saw this list today…and liked it!

“Let us therefore follow after the things which promote peace,
and things wherewith one may edify another” — Romans 14:19

  • Be careful to LOVE one another with a true heart. “Love covers a multitude of sins.”
  • Avoid a spirit of ARGUMENT AND DEBATE. One may win an argument and lose a friend.
  • Beware of JEALOUSY. Jealousy destroys happiness and builds suspicion.
  • Beware of ENVY. Let us learn to rejoice in another’s gifts, blessings, and happiness. God gives as HE will!
  • Do not MEDDLE in the private lives and domestic affairs of others.
  • Guard against a TOUCHY TEMPER: “For every trifling thing to take offense shows either great pride or little sense.”
  • Learn to KEEP A CONFIDENCE. “He that repeateth a matter separateth very friends.”
  • Strive to HEAL DIFFERENCES. “Blessed are the peacemakers.”
  • Be always ready to FORGIVE ANYTHING. “Forgive us our sins AS we forgive those who sin against us.”
