Peace making is not for the faint of heart. Listening just to listen, not to reply is hard. Speaking gently instead of letting the first words that come to mind fly out of our mouths is hard. It’s hard and holy work that sanctifies us and helps us look more like Jesus. Not only that, but listening humbly and speaking gently leads to peace in our souls and in our social lives.
