The end of something is better than its beginning. Not giving up in spirit is better than being proud in spirit. New Life Version Ecclesiastes 7:8
Navigating Relational Stress
We were created for relationships, and they bring us our greatest joy and deepest sorrow. Relationships are hard to navigate correctly and sometimes we make mistakes that can’t be fixed right away. The more we try, the worse it becomes. The best thing for us is to learn to let go and let God work out His endgame. As we stay in a vital-vertical relationship with Him, He writes our life story and despite what it looks like today, it ends well.
Growing Through Strained Relationship
“It is hard “growing through” strained relationships. What makes it even tougher is knowing the enemy is scheming to keep it that way, permanently destroy our relationship with God and others. God owns all of our relationships, He created them. God divinely connects us, making relationships, using people with people purposefully so, to grow our character into His Image. The Owner of our relationships will fight for them, we just need to let Him. We are not fighting flesh and blood. Our relationships belong to God and He will fight for them. We only need to wait.
The Lord will fight for you. All you have to do is keep still. Exodus 14:14 New Life Version
Divided By Strife
Patience in response to all the quirks of a relationship divided by strife is much better than the reaction of pride. Taking in truth, waiting on God to respond, is more responsible than impulsively fleshing out emotions with no accountability to consequence. Exchange reaction of flesh for a responsible, response of truth, you will be so glad you did.”
Learning To Wait
Me having to be right may be absolutely wrong in this moment of relationship strife. I need to learn to wait on God. God is the Only One Who is right and He makes wrong things balance out justly because He knows all, He knows the purposes He has set in play in our lives. The truth is, we never truly “know” what we “think we know”.
Job 12:22 He reveals the deep things of darkness and brings utter darkness into the light.
God’s Right Prevails Rightly
What is wrong, will be seen as right and at the right time the proof will be revealed, purposefully-perfectly so. It is good to stop fighting to prove you are right and trust God, by putting the outcome you want and your tattered reputation in the capable Hands of the Triune God: God The Father: Proof; Jesus The Son, Proven; The Holy Spirit Of God, Prover. It is exhausting to chase after the approval of man that is illusive and won’t be caught. Chase after God. There is no better way to true justice. Wait For It. Wholly-Holy Trust God. He has a plan and it is better than you could ever make happen or even imagine.
Psalm 23:4 Lord, even when your path takes me through the valley of deepest darkness, fear will never conquer me, for you already have! You remain close to me and lead me through it all the way. Your authority is my strength and my peace. The comfort of your love takes away my fear. I’ll never be lonely, for you are near. TPT
