As much as we want, we will not get our differences worked out with all people. Paul and Barnabas had problems for a time over Mark, which later were resolved. We sometimes offend by our words and strong opinions. But even when we seek to be sensitive and kind, there are souls who will still not want to get along with us. These situations can cause us to get stuck in cyclical thinking, which does no good. Be kind! Accept what is and move on!
“Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.” Romans 12:17-18 (NIV)
