James 3:18
"And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace for those who cultivate peace."
Have you ever forced your opinion upon someone that wasn't receptive? It doesn't take too long to figure out it doesn't work. The fruit it produces isn't peace, it can be the opposite.
The truth is the truth but we must be open to it. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. He never forced His ideas on others, He showed them and let them come to their own conclusions. He cultivated in peace and never plowed in anger.
Dear Lord God, as we begin another week, help us see where we need to change. Help us see how we can cultivate peace in our homes, our work, our families and our church. May we be living examples for others to find their way to You. I ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.
