Love-motivated Peacemaking


And the seed whose fruit is righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace. - James 3:18

I recently counseled with someone with this verse in mind though at the moment I could not remember the reference. She had done the right thing to confront a wrongdoing but had gone about it in the wrong way, resorting to the same cursing used against her. She is sorry, but agrees that having done so she did not win the confidence of the other person. It’s hard, but if you are to win the war, you must first win the battle within you. Sow the seed of righteousness.
