During the past 4-5 days I have had some boulder obstacles. These obstacles were disappointing to extremely painful. My first response was to find a way to confront those people quickly and decisively so there could be justice. I decided that I would wait 24 hours to give myself time to practice what I was going to say. During that time I started asking God to help me choose my words. He revealed to me that my first approach would be like pouring gas on the fire. I then started hearing about how to love those who cause me pain. This love doesn’t excuse the words or hurtful behavior but it helps bring us back into relationship and gives us time for healing to start so the issues can be addressed without anger. So the issues are complicated and in my spirit I’m being cautioned to move slowly. So the obstacle is really overcoming self, and the invitation from God for me is to humbly surrender to Him so I can learn to love others as He loves me. I’m hoping for a resolution to come quickly, but I am prepared to wait for whatever time is required.
