All our relationships must be rooted in obedience to the Word of God.
If someone is a stunning jerk to you, it is not your business to bring him down a
peg. That job belongs to the Lord, and after all, what good will it do other than satisfy
your flesh?
When you encounter impatience or meanness or deliberate assassination, you
must not meet the offense with an attempt to cancel it or balance it out with pouting
retreat or punish in some other way.
You are different.
You are not your own.
You have been bought with a Price.
That means you have the Indwelling Holy Spirit, and He will lead you with His flow
at the time you need it.
One thing is for sure. He will reveal Jesus in the situation, if you will allow Him to.
Grace can work its way through the toughest rocks and can gel the most watery
fog.
The clay ought not take charge of the situation. The clay ought to step back and
reveal the Potter.
