Love jealous one, love

Mathew 5:23-26
23"Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, 24leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift.

25"Settle matters quickly with your adversary who is taking you to court. Do it while you are still with him on the way, or he may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison. 26I tell you the truth, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.

This is Jesus sermon on the mount.

Peace at all cost is a phrase that keeps running through my head I would read this. Many times we can get so justified in our ways that we forget to reconcile ourselves to one another. Reconciliation is fundamental element in Christianity. God came and reconciled himself with us on the cross, not because we deserved it, but because it is who God is. He desires mercy not wrath, love not hate.
If you have anyone you need to make amends with, no matter who fault, or whatever reason you can think of. Remember to wash your brothers feet. Love, seek peace, and give of yourself. Don't let pride declare victory over you.
Love jealous one, love

"Forgive us for forgetting to love. I surrender all to you, resurrect yourself within me"
