WEEK SEVEN, DAY THREE Healing Broken Relationships Because we struggle to “die to self” on a daily basis, we followers of Christ don’t always get along with one another. We get selfish. We make mistakes. We get mad. Sometimes, we even try to get “even.” None of it is God-honoring, and none of it is acceptable in God’s eyes. When His children are at odds with each other, God’s message is loud and clear, “I don’t care who started it, just fix it!” Study Matthew 5:23-24. God requires more than emotional forgiveness or a new attitude, things you can take care of within yourself without having to interact with someone else. He expects us to take action and be the first one to try to make things right in a relationship that has gone wrong. Include the following in your personal prayer time: Ask God to help you kill the human desire to be “right” and justify your actions in order to “win” an argument. Commit to make God’s glory your only priority when faced with conflict. FOR FURTHER STUDY: Study Romans 12:18.
