Peace is not something that just happens. In fact, according to Peter in this verse, it’s something we have to pursue. We have to work for it. It doesn’t happen by accident. And there may be no other area where pursing peace is more difficult than when it comes to forgiveness. Seeking revenge seems like the most natural thing in the world, but Peter encourages us to turn from evil and do good instead, which includes pursuing forgiveness and peace. When you feel yourself traveling in the direction of evil, you must pivot to what is good so that you stay on the journey that leads you to peace.
What are some signs you might be heading in a direction that isn’t leading you to peace?

About this Plan
Okay so you've forgiven, but how can you tell if it's even working? The hurt, frustration, or confusion is still very real and "they" never actually said sorry. It can feel sweet to stay bitter. But maybe there's a better answer. We'll learn how when you don't forgive, it hurts you, that everybody needs forgiveness, and how it's okay that healing doesn't always happen overnight.
