Has anyone who’s reading this blog ever had a perfect relationship? I’m talking about that you never had argument or conflict with anyone at all. I guess not. Even Jesus when he was walking on this earth, he had conflicts with people, even with his own disciples.
It’s not the conflict that matters, but it’s how we handle it, that matters most. As for me, I’m still learning how to handle the conflicts with a right attitude. I am still learning, sometimes I blew it too you know.
As God’s people, we need to understand that we are blessed when we try our best to live in peace. Jesus mentioned in Matthew 5 that we are blessed if we work for peace (or peacemaker), because we will be called children of God, that’s our title.
Romans 12:18, Paul emphasized that we have to do our part to live in peace with everyone, as much as possible.
Don’t let little things cause strive and division, we have to let the love of God flow in us and flow out from us, that the world may know there is something more about life.
God bless you all.

See Yourself as God Sees You!
"Be confident in this: He who began a good work in you will be faithful to complete it in you." (Philippians 1:6)
Do you have a vision of victory for your life? Do you know that God desires to do great and mighty things in your life? But in order to fulfill God's plan, you must first see yourself the way God sees you–growing and prosperous in every area.
Where you are in life today is a direct reflection of your past thoughts about yourself. You are not able to rise above your own self-image. But no matter what your current situation, you can change your self-image by meditating on God's Word and spending time with Him.
Begin today to see yourself the way God sees you. He sees you as an overcomer, more than a conqueror, and a champion in life. He sees you as the head, and not the tail. He sees you above, and not beneath. He sees you growing and excelling, and living a life of victory!
As you begin to change your self image and see yourself living the life God has for you, you will experience His fulfillment, peace, and power.
A Prayer for Today
God, I was made in Your image and that means I am a conqueror and can do all things! Thank you for Your confidence in me. I am going to stay focused on Your loving plan for my life. In Jesus' name, Amen.
