When
you find yourself in a position of misunderstanding or an altercation,
your first instinct is to fight for the victim position so that you do
not have to take the blame. But honestly if you do this, it will only
make the problem worse. I call you to take the position of humility and
integrity instead of trying to protect your tenuous and questionable
innocence. Be the first to apologize for your part in the division,
says the Lord, for in doing so you will be able to defuse the situation.
Matthew 5:23-26 "Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. Agree with your adversary quickly, while you are on the way with him, lest your adversary deliver you to the judge, the judge hand you over to the officer, and you be thrown into prison. Assuredly, I say to you, you will by no means get out of there till you have paid the last penny."
