Run After Peace

Summing up: Be agreeable, be sympathetic, be loving, be compassionate, be humble. That goes for all of you, no exceptions. No retaliation. No sharp-tongued sarcasm. Instead, bless—that’s your job, to bless. You’ll be a blessing and also get a blessing. Whoever wants to embrace life and see the day fill up with good, Here’s what you do: Say nothing evil or hurtful; Snub evil and cultivate good; run after peace for all you’re worth. God looks on all this with approval, listening and responding well to what he’s asked; But he turns his back on those who do evil things.
1 Peter 3:8‭-‬12 MSG

Now... there is a list! All of these are an out-working of the Holy Spirit in our lives. If we dwell in the Lord's presence and He is in charge, His pace rules and we find it easier to respond as He would.

However, if we allow the agenda of others to rule, we get the run-around and don't rest, then we get feisty.

If we are intentional about God He will keep us in perfect peace as our mind stays on Him. He is peace, love, joy, longsuffering, meek, kind, compassionate and self-control. Seek Him!
