TOPIC- Peace With One Another JUNE 15, 2018 (Devotional from Charles Stanley)
Bible Verse
As Christians, we have a special relationship with each other because of our union with Jesus. You’ve probably experienced this if you’ve met a stranger with whom you sensed a bond and soon discovered that you were both Christians.
Scripture calls us to be a source of encouragement and help to our brothers and sisters in Christ, yet most of us know at least one believer with whom we have more conflict than comfort. Perhaps our personalities don’t mesh, or we have different convictions that sometimes result in arguments. The problem could also be a matter of miscommunication or misunderstanding.

Prayer – Today’s daily devotional from Charles Stanley
Make it a habit to lift up the other person in prayer to the Father.
Communication. Discuss the relational issue openly and honestly. Clear up any incorrect assumptions and uncover the source of conflict. Be willing to share concerns and listen to the other point of view.
Counsel. To work though the conflict, it may sometimes be necessary to enlist the aid of a godly counselor.
Restoration. Once the root issue is resolved and harmony is restored, both parties should agree to address new conflicts promptly as they arise. Today’s daily devotional from Charles Stanley
God calls us to live in peace, and He has provided everything we need to obey Him. When we allow His indwelling Holy Spirit to control us, His goodness and grace will flow through us to others, creating harmony.
