It is peace-loving and peace-nurturing.
It is not confrontational or contentious.
It is not touchy or easily offended.
It will not be overtaken by wrath or rage.

Or do ever lose your temper and explode with anger? Are you sometimes cranky, cantankerous, highly emotional, tempermental, hyper-sensitive, volatile, easily agitated, antagonistic, confrontational, belligerent, quarrelsome, or contentious?
Whatever your natural temperament might have been in the past, you can acquire a calm, peaceful, relaxed, slow-to-anger, soft-spoken, easy-going, unflappable, even temperament ... if you are willing to take the following seven steps seriously:
1. Admit to yourself that you have a problem in this area.
2. Confess the problem to God and make a resolute decision to become different.
3. Trust in God.
Peace: A peacemaker, even-tempered, not easily offended, slow to anger, not defensive, composed, relaxed, unflappable, soft-spoken, silent in the face of false accusations, one whose trust in God shows through in both the words and the tone of voice and the comportment in which they speak (a soft voice breaks hard bones).
I have spoken these things to you so that in me you might have peace.
In the world you will have tribulation, but be of good cheer~. I have overcome the world. John 16:33
