Olive Branch

Conflicts are an ever present force regardless of how peaceful a person one is. They  arise at times because we share different views about things. How we resolve them and how soon this is done determines the kind of environment we find ourselves in daily.  Whether it's in our homes or on the job, we should strive for reconciliation as quickly as possible in order for peace to reign. Can all matters be reconciled as quickly as some of us would like them to? Certainly not. There are those who seem to thrive at being on the other side of peace. 

If the person you are in disagreement with or who you feel did you wrong, sincerely approaches you to try to work things out, accepting that olive branch of peace is what will lead to a stress free home or workplace. Showing anger and resentment will only lead to us not feeling at ease. This affects our job, our home life and is also not good for our mental or physical health. 

Proverbs 15:18 
A hot-tempered person stirs up conflict, but the one who is patient calms a quarrel.
