that is very applicable today: "You make your bed---you've got to sleep in
it". ---Enemies have many faces: persecutors,
haters, cursors, enemies...all negative situations linking you to it...why? ---Sometimes innocently without you
doing anything. ---Then also by actions, words,
expressions, that one said or do skewly to the Word of God to them. ---Any action or behavior or words skew
from the Word of God is sin and sin has many trouble babies in triplets. The problems
attach to it come in triplets. ---I heard of a soldier that killed in
wars of the past the parents of a baby that grew up and went back to the
peace-loving after-war country, found the soldier and forgave him. Because the
victim is a Christian. They cried on each other's shoulders. Love your enemies.
---The ability to face the greatest
enemy and to say instead of blame or negative words, I forgive you...is very
Christ-like in its' fullest. ---Interpersonal wars are sometimes
between family members...over small silly things. Over things that are taken
out of context...over things that are essentially not true. ---Sometimes people are very dogmatic
and with a few data strung together in their minds a narrative that they
believe is absolutely true and factual...and they feel victimized and react
negative. ---The Spirit of God has the total
picture since He is the hair-Counter of people. He knows what everyone thinks
and intent and did. ---Once I hurt a colleague of mine by an
e-mail raising a question about a principle that is right but by using her name
as an example. She was extremely hurt and came to face me about it. Finally,
because she is a Christian she said that she is going to pretend that she never
saw it happen to her. The wound took years to heal. Because we are both
Christians. ---Receiving negative feedback for our
actions of the past that was done in oversight, recklessness, carelessness,
shortsightedness. Sometimes Satan caught us when we were standing only on one
leg. A moment that changes everything. ---Guess who is the Master of Disaster
who is going to make sure that negative relationships will result and that for
a long time? Icy Winters in relationships. "Storms" my father use to
call it. ---Who is the Master of the Storm? The
One the disciples woke up and said, "Master, the tempest is raging. The
waves are big and we are going down." And He calmed the angry waves. He
can. He will.
