How to Play Well With Others
REFERENCE: I Peter 3:8 Finally, all of you, live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic, love as brothers, be compassionate and humble.
Observation: Here Peter gives us the key to living in harmony with others:
1. Care about the others feelings.
2. Really love them.
3. Feel what they are feeling with them.
4. Be humble--not prideful.
Application/Confession: I can see where I have allowed division between myself and others, including Gloria because I have not practiced this simple verse. I have not been willing to really understand and feel with them. Consequently, I was not really humble and I ended up in conflict instead of harmony.
PRAYER: God, please help me to always, always, always practice what this verse says. Teach me to really understand, care about and feel with those that I may find myself in conflict with. Teach me, all my life, to remain humble.
