“You
must turn away from evil and do good; you must strive for peace with all your heart.”
- 1 Peter 3:11
WE must take care that as we desire God’s peace we don’t still hang on to
our old grudges and gripes. God’s peace is, as scripture says, beyond our
understanding for it is a gift of His Spirit. It’s not easy, that’s why He
tells us that peace of heart is something we must “strive for”. There is no
peace in unforgiveness. As long as we ourselves remain ungrateful, resentful or
envious, He won’t return the favour. His Word is clear – we must forgive others
and turn away from wrong-doing. So
strive on, for His peace is a gift beyond measure.
