Healing broken relationship.

Healing broken relationships.

"Love makes up for all offenses." Pr 10:12 NLT

Loving relationships are a cornerstone of life. They are the foundation of Christ's church and evidence that we have the love of God in our hearts. God places a big emphasis on how we relate to others, because our relationships impact every area of our lives: at home, at work, at church, at school, and during our everyday interactions.  A relationship built on love, sensitivity, and respect can win an unsaved husband or wife to Christ. 

Peter wrote: "You wives must accept the authority of your husbands. Then, even if some refuse to obey the Good News, your godly lives will speak to them without any words. They will be won over by observing your pure and reverent lives" (1Pe 3:1-2 NLT). 

This is why Satan attacks our relationships so much. When relationships break down, it impacts the quality of our life. Medical science has proven that unresolved bitterness and unforgiveness are sources of sickness and depression. And just as God wants you to be healed physically, He wants you to experience His healing touch in your relationships as well. But you have a part to play. "Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior. Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ as forgiven you" (Eph 4:31-32 NLT). 

As you pray about your troubled relationship, make this confession:

"Since God has forgiven me of all my sins, l will not hold unforgiveness against anyone. I release all bitterness and anger. Lord, I pray Your peace over the misunderstanding and hurtful area in this relationship. Amen."
