Relationships, especially the peaceful ones, take work. This is why the writer of Hebrews tells us to make every effort to live in peace with others. Don’t worry if it doesn’t seem to work the way you’d hoped it would right away. God promises that the effort you take to live in peace will not be wasted. Today, think through how you will respond to others in order to live in peace. Ask God to help you take a step towards peace in even your most difficult relationships.
