I am amazed at how high my standards are for others and how high their standards are for me. The fact is that we all fall from our standards for others...which is the basis for the adage, "if you can spot it, you got it," or the age-old "takes one to know one."
It is not so much our treatment of others, up front and out there...no, it is how we silently think of them, judge them mentally. That's what counts against us, jars our own conscience, keeps us awake at night.
To know peace, then, we need to ponder God and the ways of God...as in "we have given up fighting anything or anybody" or "agree with your adversary quickly." Then do it...and from the heart, not just the lips. That is living it.
There's our day's, week's, month's, year's, years' work cut out for us.
Thank You.
