In communication(I), we looked at its importance, how God calls us to communicate effectively and how the devil can use it as a stronghold in our lives. However, I just wanted to focus a little more on the relational part of communication, especially when it comes to boyfriend/girlfriend, husband/wife.
If you have had the joy of being in a relationship, you know how important communication is with your significant other. One minute , the two of you can be wildly in love with each other and the next, it seems like all hell broke loose. You girls may be thinking, “yup, it was all his fault” and you guys may be like “I don’t even remember how it was my fault this time.”
When miscommunication occurs, it is our initial reaction to get mad because things did not go according to plan. I for one am a walking testimony of how God had to work in me in that area. My ex used to really dislike it when I got mad because there was something that wasn’t said between the two of us and caused our plans to be delayed. But, by God’s grace, He has worked in that area ever since. Don’t get mad at the other person because it is going to start a long fight of pointing fingers and the blame game. Instead, forgive each other and move on since there is no use crying over spilled milk.
Romans 12:19-21
“Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,”says the Lord. On the contrary: “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.”Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.”
2 Timothy 2:23-24
“Don’t have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know they produce quarrels. And the Lord’s servant must not quarrel; instead, he must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful.”
My parting shout to you. Next time you get into a fight because plans weren’t communicated effective, choose to get better and not bitter. If you can’t do that right away, pray, pray and pray some more.
