The natural desire of man's heart is to live at peace with everyone. ...

This is imposible especially if we live and confess Christ. If Christ was killed, suffered then we too will suffer and be killed. We are enimies to the world. The world hates us. I remember growing up, and figuring that my step mather hated me. I would come to a desision on what to do, when I tried to think of what I could do that would please my step mather, nothing worked. Everything that I thought of I could see her has not liking for some reason. The world hates God and we as children of God will be hated by the world. Nothing we do will please the world, unless we deny our Jesus, then we are of the world and not of Christ.

Let us please God, for God will be pleased with us for eternity. Pleasing the world will bring us eternal pain.
