school friend comes back into Mike’s life.

How about
you…
Have you been
hurt or neglected in a relationship, and felt sad about it? Or have you done damage in a
relationship in the past and want to make things right?
Check this
out…
The book of Hebrews chapter 12 has this to say about our relationships:
Make every effort to live in peace with all
men and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord. See to it that no
one misses the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble
and defile many.
It seems like the writer is saying that making every effort—doing all we can—to live in peace, is a way to holiness! Then he goes on to talk about grace... now, I’m sure you know that the definition of grace is “unmerited favor”, or “being loved when you don’t deserve it”. I’m sure you also know that this is what God has done for us. BUT DID YOU KNOW that grace is what WE are also to show to others? Yeah, it’s how we can forgive; it’s how we can live at peace—even with people who don’t deserve it! When we show grace to people, it gives them the opportunity to experience the grace God wants to show them! So, if you know of a relationship that needs some peace and a person who needs some grace, ask God to help you, then “make every effort”!
