       Hopefully we’re not that person who continues to speak negatively about this and that, whatever it might be. Some people I notice seem to speak negatively about everything, no matter what the subject matter is. When we have a conflict, a disagreement, or whatever it is, with a brother or a sister, there is only one way for it really to end, one way that is pleasing to God. And you know what that one way is. You guessed it. It’s going to have to end in a peaceful resolution. That’s the only way both parties at the end of the day are going to end up happy. It’s the only way that really works for us. Staying continually in disagreement with someone, holding a grudge, or making the person pay for the wrong they did isn’t going to give us freedom. Usually, it ends up hurting us more than it does the other person. Judging our fellow brother or sister for a wrong done, and refusing even to forgive, only keeps the problem alive. It only makes it so that situation is still outstanding; it hasn’t been resolved.
