Don&#8217;t we wish people were more like that? But sometimes no matter how hard we try to have a good relationship with someone, personalities clash and it doesn&#8217;t work.<\/p>\n<p>The apostle Paul addressed the situation of resolving problems in human relationships in Romans 12:18. Note the phrase &#8220;as much as depends on you.&#8221; He knew that some people-problems may never be resolved entirely. After all  it takes two to quarrel  it takes two to reconcile. If we do our part and the problem remains, there is still a plan to follow. Let&#8217;s not harbor resentment or retaliate with the weapon of silence, but rather do all we can to overcome evil with good (Romans 12:21), and allow God to work out the problem.<\/p>\n<p>We need to make application of the following steps given in Romans 12:9-21 until our people-problems are resolved  but especially if they&#8217;re not:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Demonstrate genuine love toward one another (Romans 12:9).<\/li>\n<li>Be affectionate to one another  showing high esteem and respect (Romans 12:10).<\/li>\n<li>Be prayerfully patient (Romans 12:12).<\/li>\n<li>Bless our persecutors (Romans 12:14; cf. Matthew 5:44; Acts 7:60).<\/li>\n<li>Be humble rather than conceited (Romans 12:16).<\/li>\n<li>Be honest with one another (Romans 12:17; cf. 2 Corinthians 8:21).<\/li>\n<li>Never have a vengeful attitude (Romans 12:19).<\/li>\n<li>Keep a person&#8217;s needs and best interests at heart (Romans 12:20; cf. 1 Samuel 24:16-19).<\/li>\n<li>Overcome evil with good (Romans 12:21).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There&#8217;s an old adage that holds true regarding human relationships  people don&#8217;t care about how much we <strong>know<\/strong>, until they <strong>know<\/strong> how much we <strong>care<\/strong>. Brethren, we can better resolve problems in human relationships if the person we&#8217;re having a conflict with knows that we truly care about them and their eternal souls.
