Responde a la canción vieja «Turn, Turn». Hay un tiempo para todo. Pero espero que el tiempo de bailar, abrazarse y hacerse paz no haya pasado ya.

So dare I hope so late as now
Toward the end of my life
That, beneath all of the ice and snow
Atop my frozen grave
When the sun’s love clears the cold stone
There will yet lie the seed
That in the spring becomes the rose?.

God values conciliation very much. And the responsibility is mine, not yours. I can’t serve God while I know that you hold something against me.

Dios valora mucho la conciliación. Y la responsabilidad es la mía, no tuya. No puedo servir a Dios mientrase sé que tú tienes esa cosa en contra de mí.

¿Qué se ve vivir en paz con otros? Si dependo de Dios para darme todas las cosas buenas, no las esperaré de otras personas. Y, cuando nada estuvo dicho, yo no debía asumir nada.

What does it look like to live at peace with others? If I depend on God to give me all good things, I will not expect them from other people. And, when nothing was said, I should not assume anything.

If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. This is one of the most important principles of Scriture, because God is love.

lo que nace del Espíritu es imprevisible, como el viento. Pero generalmente preferimos evitar a los individuos que pueden desencadenar los tipos de corrección violente del rumbo —paroxismon— de los que se habla en Hebreos 10:24.

What is born of the Spirit is unpredictable, like the wind. But we generally prefer to avoid individuals who can trigger the types of violent course correction—paroxysmon—spoken of in Hebrews 10:24.
