“A kingdom divided by civil war will collapse. Similarly, a family splintered by feuding will fall apart.” v.24-25 (NLT)
How many times have we let little disagreements turn into large wars within families, friendships, and even the church? It’s not wrong to disagree, but how we handle the disagreement says a lot about our Character, Integrity, and Unity. Some people tend to always look for things to argue about and it limits the potential of the relationship, puts strife on the relationship, and eventually cause it to fall apart. However, learning how to disagree and still love each other through the disagreement, is the sign of strength and commitment to the relationship or vision. It requires Grace and Forgiveness not just in word, but in action.
Today, is there a relationship that needs to be restored? Are you letting a little thing become a big thing by not talking about it? Pray and ask God to help you resolve the issue by talking with the other person and begin the process of restoration.
