Romans 12: 9- 21
TODAY'S RHEMA Romans 12:18 "If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men!"
Ramona is the youngest of the eight children in the family. Her mother aged eighty years old was taken care of her brother in Solo. Due to his business, her mother didn't receive the best care from her brother. Soon, problems arose in between the siblings. Ramona had to resign from her work in Jakarta and came back to Solo so that she can take a good care of her mother. The atmosphere in the house she grew up at was so much different than what she had in her mind all these time. The love has become cold and quarrel happens every day. Her sibling constantly nags her and looked for fault. However, whenever she was about to get into a fight with her siblings, Holy Spirit remind her to be loving her family regardless. She always answers her sibling's anger and harshness with love and gentleness that through time their heart softened and decrease the amount of quarreling between the siblings and the best of all, her sibling gets to know Jesus through her.
You may also face a conflict now; in that situation, it is easier for us to be emotional and fight back the one who hurt us. However, as the children of God, we have things to do, which is to be the peacemaker wherever we are in. Even though other might bring conflict around us, but we should bring the peace from the Lord.
Worry Not! When God gives us work to do, He is the one who enables us. Holy Spirit, who is the source of peace, stays within us. If we give the Holy Spirit authority in our heart and submit to His leading, God can use our life to be His tool to bring His peace in this chaotic world.
