Peace of Jesus Christ be with you all.
Thank God for the mercies and grace God showed in our life by preserving us so far.
It’s been a very discouraging situation. Every day things are going from bad to worst. People are selfish, pleasure-loving, and they aren’t afraid to destroy others peace and joy for their comfort and pleasure. Fear for God is not restored in the people’s mindset. Last week in the bible study, many people struggled to understand the concept, and so many people called for help. Really, I am happy for being helpful. It will be a real blessing if this question was asked in the bible study itself. There were many people who couldn’t understand but didn’t ask because of fear. Based on this I want to share few things about the relationship.
1. Saying yes to everything:
Many people agree with the other person irrespective of their stand. This is evil.
In Matthew 5:33-37“Again you have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform your oaths to the Lord.’ 34But I say to you, do not swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is God’s throne; 35nor by the earth, for it is His footstool; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. 36Nor shall you swear by your head, because you cannot make one hair white or black. 37But let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.’ For whatever is more than these is from the evil one” truth says very clearly this is evil.
So be honest in the relationship. Many times, we think we shouldn’t offend the other person this is not biblical thinking. Jesus didn’t stop scolding people because they will be offended. He was very honest. So don’t deviate from the truth.
Compromising with a person for the relationship shake is a deception. That negative feeling will grow deeper every day and one day it will destroy the relationships. So, if you have any kind of discomfort in a relationship talk to them. Maybe it will be hard in the beginning, but it will help a lot in the end. So, if you are really concerned about the relationship may the good Lord will lead you and heal your relationships by sending His spirit.
Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord: 15looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled; Hebrews 12:14, 15
Let this word of God be a help for your healing.
