       We can only do so much to make peace with others who have something against us. The other person can sometimes have a pride issue on their part, and not want to let the personal offense go. Now, with Christians, there should not be an instance where you would not be at peace with another person. Life is more than whatever offense has occurred. When Paul was writing to the church at Philippi, apparently there were two Christians who didn’t have peace with each other because of some sort of disagreement that had occurred. But Paul told the whole church, “And now I want to plead with those two dear women, Euodias and Syntyche. Please, please, with the Lord’s help, quarrel no more—be friends again” (Philippians 4:2, TLB). A personal disagreement with another fellow Christian should not go so far that it’s known by the whole church. Remind yourself again of Colossians 3:15, “Let the peace of heart that comes from Christ be always present in your hearts and lives, for this is your responsibility and privilege as members of his body.” (TLB).
