I am always newly amazed at the behavior of some Christians.

As a family attorney, I see people in the most difficult situations. It is hard to have someone lie about you. It is hard to see your children think you are responsible when in fact you are not. It is hard to have someone you have loved take up with someone else. Humanly, it is impossible to live with a misunderstanding that cannot be resolved.
Soldier of The Cross, you are not able to choose all of your circumstances. You have no control over any other life. The Lord alone is in control and He knows what He is doing, no matter what things look like.
The Soldier of The Cross may not be bristly. He or she may not respond with a thorny retort, just because the other party is a jerk. There is no verse in God's Word that allows a Believer to get back. Isn't that evil for evil?
There is no need to give in because of fear or being worn down. On the other hand, aren’t we charged with a ministry of grace? Don't we have the Indwelling Holy Spirit? Aren't we agreeing with God? Is it necessary to score in an argument? After all, no one ever wins an argument.
We speak the truth in line with God's Word and as empowered by the Holy Spirit.
Tell the Lord you are willing to be changed in this area. It is hard for the flesh, but it is not hard for the One who holds the stars in place.
Tell Him today.
Aloud.
