       By being kind to our enemies, we work peace where there should have been the opposite. We work good out of a bad situation. And, over time we may even win them over to Jesus. We overcome the evil that Satan wanted for us with the good that God wants. Recall also what the writer of Hebrews has told us, “Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord. See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God; that no “root of bitterness” springs up and causes trouble, and by it many become defiled” (Hebrews 12:14, 15, ESV). We can also have peace in the negative situations that come to us in our lives, those situations we have no control over which come to us. Again, the Apostle Paul has given us great advice. He said, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:6, 7, ESV). What a good promise for us from God’s Word.
