Bebe's interpretation
God's Word is simple and straightforward. His instructions are clear and direct. However, we often like to embellish biblical principles to sound smart and knowledgeable even when we are far from being that. Our Bible verse clearly explains the two things we must do to see God - following peace with all men and living in holiness.
We have read many books, listened to countless sermons, and attended different Bible studies and conferences about holy living and righteousness. However, we barely mention the significance of accommodating people irrespective of their tribe, tongue, and religion. We find believers today who hate people practicing other religions but preach about love in the church. We see Christians say spiteful things about people of another race or ethnicity but lift holy hands on Sunday. 
The scripture does not tell us to discriminate but to love everyone around us, even our enemies. We must follow peace with them by ignoring their weaknesses and offenses, accepting our mistakes, and apologizing. We must choose to be tolerant and embrace our differences. This is what God wants us to do. He wants our lives to be a reflection of His love for others.
Make up your mind today to live a balanced life by loving God and all His people. Remember, only by doing these will you see God.
