"Those who make peace sow the seeds of justice by their peaceful acts."
JAMES 3:18
It’s about making peace not “ keeping the peace”
Avoiding hard talks doesn't keep the peace-it keeps you apart.
Silence doesn't heal, it hardens. Resentment left unspoken becomes quiet warfare. Talk through it.
Love survives where communication flows…..

As parents, our hearts break if our child chooses a destructive path even after all our efforts. And one of the most painful hurdles is coming to terms with God’s goodness and His permissive will — that He allows people, even those who profess to be His children, to go their own way.
1. Surrender to God in prayer.
2. Remember God is patient and redemptive.
3. Cling to who YOU are in Christ - dive deep into the Word and prayer.
4. Guard your heart against bitterness toward God and your child.
5. God loves your children. He cares about your children.
Persevere in prayer and thank God for His longsuffering mercy and grace. When you disagree with what’s happening, when you feel godly sorrow over the actions of your child, turn to the Lord. Ask Him for wisdom, for a soft heart fixed on the Savior’s glory, and to make you a guidepost of extravagant grace.

What does it mean that God is a jealous God?
There is a good jealousy and bad jealousy…..
The Bible addresses jealousy as both a human emotion and a divine attribute.
Types of Jealousy;
God's Jealousy: The Bible describes God as a "jealous God" (Exodus 20:5), emphasizing His desire for exclusive devotion from His people. This jealousy is seen as a protective love that seeks to maintain a covenant relationship.
Human Jealousy: Human jealousy is often portrayed negatively, associated with selfishness and strife. It can lead to destructive behaviors and is cautioned against in various scriptures (James 3:16, Galatians 5:20).
