Great words of wisdom
So I went to see my sister and wanted to read her a 9 page letter I had written her but of course she left so she wouldn't have to face me. So i left it on her bed along with 2 pic and a letter from my little girl. I basically told her that I didn't agree with her choices, didn't like what she was doing to our parents, that she had to find it in herself to get clean, that I still lovd her and wanted a relationship with her WHEN she was clean.
Then yesterday I read this from the Purpose driven life. .....
Peacekeeping is not avoiding conflict. Running from a problem, pretending it doesn’t exist, or being afraid to talk about it is actually cowardice. Sometimes we need to avoid conflict, sometimes we need to create it and, sometimes we need to resolve it. Jesus, the Prince of Peace was never afraid of conflict. On occasions He provoked for the good of everyone.
Peacemaking is also not appeasement. Always giving in, acting like a doormat, and allowing others to always run over us is not what Jesus had in mind. He refused to back down on many issues, standing His ground in the face of evil opposition.
Thought I would share. .... I guess im letting go. Not giving up but giving it to God. I wish she would reach out to God. That is my prayer.
