Character flaws

Is that where it seems like being a peacemaker gets in the way, like it's a character flaw?



No, it's a character flaw because it always gets me burnt, no matter how good my intentions are...it's like being the nice person is excuse to punish me for whatever reason seems good to them at the time.

show one willingness to bear any pain other then you afflict and your post may hold weight,,

till then hollow words and deception is what you spew..

What I'm asking is does trying to be a peacemaker keep you from speaking your mind like you want to?

its all physiological,,they do not love, and you do, so the heat follows the cold, it must try to cool you,,its natural but our Lord told us this.. hold on,we are not far, the Kingdom is at hand,

Of course....I have to be nice and suck it up and be the bigger person and brush it off and forgive.....

Jesus wasn't nice to the vipers.
He didn't suck it up, but set them straight and not always in flattering terms.
When he wasn't nice and set people straight, he was still the bigger person.
The bigger person doesn't always brush things off.
Yes, you have to forgive.
They're like foolish brothers and sisters who don't know better.
You forgive them, like Jesus forgave on the cross.
Forgiveness could temper your rebuke, but you have license to rebuke, imo.

My two cents, sister. :)

Just over it. Selfish, self-righteous mongrels. Over it.
