Learn from one another
Let
us be focused on peace and mutual learning
We
must pursue and share peace if we are going to have it ourselves. We must
edify, and be open to being edified, if mutual edification is going to happen.
In other words, we live with other people in God's family. He wants us to be
responsible for making relationships work in our spiritual family. He reminds
us it will require strenuous effort.
Love
means sacrifice, effort, and concern for others.
Let
us ask God to forgive us for our impatience and selfishness. Ask God to help us
to defeat the bad attitude of competitiveness that we often display in
arguments and disagreements with others in our family. Let us ask God to
energize us by His Spirit to see areas where we can be a blessing and an
encouragement to others.
Romans
14:19
Let
us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual
edification.
