If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably
with all men.
Romans 12:18 KJV
We need to learn to pursue peace as much as possible. It may
prove difficult sometimes but we just need to learn. There will be situations where
we think it is impossible because the other person is proving too difficult or
too smart. The truth is we will always have to deal with difficult people
because there is no way to avoid it if we will ever make progress.
Moses had to face hard hearted Pharaoh. Pharaoh was not going
to let the Israelites go just like that. David faced Goliath, Daniel faced
Nebuchadnezzar even Jesus faced the Pharisees and religious leaders until he
was crucified. Peace is not the absence of trouble but dealing with the trouble
before it deals with you. If you have opportunity to make peace with someone,
please by all means do even if it means you may be mocked.
All human relationships have to be managed through effective
communication and patience. In marriage, you will learn to say sorry even if
you are right in order to make peace. It may be so in business relationship too
in order to remain in business. Managing conflict is a vital skill because of
human differences that will arise from time to time.
