As far as depends on me, I will be at peace with all people. When in conflict I won’t spread it, I will seek to resolve it with the person.

I will seek to honor all people, and never slander or speak negative words about any person. I will be an ambassador of love, kind, compassionate, and forgiving, as God in Christ has forgiven me.
