Justification or Abuse?

“Don’t justify your action by the reaction. That is like being pissed off at a car for accelerating when you push the gas pedal.”

It is so frustrating to live with someone who feels so entitled to their opinion that they don’t care how they express it, let alone the frame of mind that supports it.

Even more frustrating is when you live with an antagonist that isn’t happy until your are crying or exploding yourself.

While frustrating, not impossible to deal with. Do a devotion on Anger. YouVersion has a great short devotion on anger. Keeping yourself in check really helps set the tone and allows you to identify whether you are experiencing a clash of character or possibly even abuse.

Regardless, you cannot blame another person for your bad choices. We either stand up for ourselves respectfully or we walk away respectfully. When we don’t, we need to apologize and ask for forgiveness even when it isn’t accepted.

God hates divorce. I truly believe that. But He is not okay with abuse either so it is up to you to find out what you are truly experiencing. What society will buy has nothing to do with God.

Love,
Me
