When the waters of dissension
Start to trickle and to flow,
If action isn't taken
Animosity will grow.
Jealousy and strife and gloom
Are seeds we shouldn't sow.
These are seeds with ugly roots
Which only bring us woe.
God would have us live in peace
And not to live in tension.
With kindness and with love
We can work toward good prevention.
"For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace."
James 3:16-18 KJV
"And let the peace of God rule in your hearts..."
Colossians 3:15 KJV
