peace/love/forgiveness

God gives all of us an opportunity to be a peacemaker but it's up to us to make that happen.  Being a peacemaker is not just talking through things but it's also about loving and going above and beyond to show the other person where our hearts are in a situation.  The good thing about doing our part when we go the extra mile is we're being examples of Jesus but if we don't get a good response from people when we go above and beyond, that's when we have to still love but leave it alone.  People can say all kinds of things and don't mean a thing because when their actions conflict with their words, you know they don't mean it but let's not get distracted by other peoples actions but still show love, forgiveness and always pray for others as well as ourselves.  We all are sinners but we can try one day at a time to love our neighbor and forgive those who hurt us.  Amen
