HOW TO MAINTAIN PEACE AND UNITY IN OUR FAMILIES



1 Thessalonians 5:15 (NIV) — “Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always strive to do what is good for each other and for everyone else.”


God is pleased when His children live in peace and love. He is a God of peace and love, and He wants His people to reflect His nature. Wherever there is peace and love, the presence of God is strong, and blessings flow.


God's word teaches us how to gain and keep peace in our families. It reminds us that paying back wrong for wrong only brings more trouble. Choosing to do good to each other creates unity.


We must understand — there is no perfect family. Every family has disagreements, misunderstandings, and challenges. Your relatives, children, parents, husband, or wife will not always be perfect. What matters is what you do after conflict. Your reaction can either bring healing or create more division.


Peace is not automatic. It is a choice. Today, according to God’s Word, I encourage you to choose peace. Where there is peace, there is God’s presence, blessings, and prosperity.


One way to choose peace is by practicing forgiveness. Forgive every wrong done to you. Let go of offenses. Do not keep a record of wrongs. When you let go, you free yourself from bitterness and can focus on what matters.


Also, strive to do good to your family, even if they don’t return the same kindness. Don’t abandon them in times of need. Choose love over hatred, kindness over revenge. People may not repay you, but God will surely reward you for every act of love and goodness you show.


A peaceful home is a place where God’s presence is felt. Make a decision today to be a peacemaker in your family.


Prayer: Lord, help me to choose peace, love, and forgiveness in my family every day.
