Attitude Towards Others

Romans 12:18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.

A very simple concept, but many of us fail at this without realizing it. First of all, the "If it be possible" does not give you license to deal in like with those who aren't peaceable with you; your responsibility is to do everything on your part to be peaceful with others, regardless of how they are with you.

Second, this applies to all men, not just Christians. With this in mind, how is your attitude on the road? How are you with a waiter or waitress who is having a bad day? How are you with the people at the RMV (or DMV)?

As the scripture says, do your best to be at peace with everybody. Are you doing your best?
