What Would You Do for Love?

DAY 2 OF 3

Misunderstandings within the house of God, have a way of making it out to the public. The attention on Christ ends up shifting to the offense of the individual. The offensive action takes center stage, while the real reason why they joined the church ends up being drowned out by bitterness. For a moment, it can be easy to forget that Jesus has given us the tools to deal with anger, hurt and resentment. It can seem easier to find others to "listen to our side of the story" instead of finding healing and solace in the arms of Christ Jesus.

Unfortunately, the ones we turn to are often operating by a worldly system, and their counsel adds more oil to the fire. The enemy creeps in and offers a “listening ear” to those who have been wronged, and from there, destruction sets in.

Let us be mindful of the fact that the enemy seeks to destroy the church. Although we know that he will not prevail, he will still try to use our momentary weakness and hurt to find a way to destroy the church from the inside. If we remain focused on chasing after our Beloved, and making Him big despite a terrible situation, we often see the plot of the enemy backfire. That which was designed to be a scandal, will turn into a testimony.
