I have given you the ministry of reconciliation. When I died to forgive the sins of the world, I opened the way for mankind to be reconciled to My Father. From that moment on the way was also made for you to be reconciled to others. It is My enemy who causes friction, strife, anger, jealousy, and pride between people. Pride is the source of all contention. Jealousy also causes even sibblings to be at odds with one another.
Because you have a relationship with Me, you now have the power to be reconciled to all those who have caused hurt in your life or all those you have caused hurt in their lives. This does not mean that you have to establish a relationship once again with those you have hurt or those who have hurt you.
Because you have established a relationship with Me, you will be able to with My power to forgive and love others as I forgive and love others. I did not establish a relationship with the whole world when I died on the cross for their sins. I paved the way for such a relationship, and you also through My power can pave the way for those you have been at odds with to come to you. You are only required to forgive and bless those who have cursed you and as much as possible do good to them.
