Peacemaking also is not appeasing another person for
the sake of peace.
In other words, I always give in to your ways, have
it your way, do it your way. I'm
manipulated, I'm dominated by you.
Listen, GOD doesn't expect you to be a doormat. You study the ministry of JESUS CHRIST, JESUS
never backed off from a legitimate issue.
When people say, "Because you're a CHRISTian you have to give in
and do what I say." That's called
manipulation, folks. When you always give
in to the other person then that is called co-dependency. And GOD doesn't
expect you to be a doormat. That's not
peacemaking.
The result of appeasement is always resentment. It builds up in your self. When I swallow my feelings, my stomach keeps
score. And I don't feel like having a
healthy relationship with you because it's a sick relationship. Peace at any price is not legitimate
peace.
That is something important to remember in your
relationships.
Just a thought from the front porch…
