The Blame Game.
And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28.
God is in control, right?, of course He is, that means He either makes things happen or He allows things to happen, all for His purposes. The good things and even the bad things all work for your good and the good is to get closer to Him and be more like Him. We sometimes have arguments with people, it could be a friend or even a relative.
So in the heat of everything and as time goes by we blame the other person and maybe even get to the point of never talking to them. Jesus asks us to forgive each other. Matthew 18:21-22, Then Peter came to Him and said, Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times? Jesus said to him, I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.
It's a constant forgiveness. Now that doesn't mean that you will forget the wrong, you may never, but you treat them as if nothing happened, you don't in other words X them out of your life and judge and condemn them, God forgave you of many atrocious things or are you so perfect. You still love them. Even though there might be a loss of trust or no relationship. those things have to be earned and rebuilt.
Though He was a Son, yet He learned obedience by the things which He suffered. And having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him. Hebrews 5:8-9.
We forget or just never knew that Jesus learned obedience by the things He suffered.
We too must learn things that way most times. Remember God is in control, that means He either makes things happen or He allows things to happen. So your child is going in the wrong direction or he needs to learn something very important. You as a parent will most likely do anything in any way to get his or her attention to transmit the teaching to correct or give the information. God does the same thing to us. He uses anything even suffering to get our attention so we can learn obedience and be more like Him.
The fact is, knowing all this, it's not the other person, it's God using the other person or circumstance or what ever to get your attention and the question is not why this person, but God what are you trying to teach me through this.
It's very simple my friend, it's to Know Him if you do not know Him or if you do know Him, it's to be more like Him. God is in control.
