I’m about to ruin some of y’all day.
Grudges come from lack of repentance, poor accountability and repetitive cycles. Bear with me.
Sin separates us from God right?
“but your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear. For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness. None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.”
Isaiah 59:2-4 KJV
https://bible.com/bible/1/isa.59.4.KJV
If we are not held accountable we are doomed to the same cycle. Consequently if we do not HOLD EACH OTHER accountable then that’s where the grudges start. The bitterness.
If we do not hold each other accountable then this is us: None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.”
We are in iniquity!!!
Then we wonder why the relationship is BROKEN!!
In the home the man leads as Christ does. Christ has atoned for sin so man can no more do that than a goat. A woman must follow the man as the head is the home follows Christ. We’re so accustomed to challenging authority man has no respect in the modern home.
By challenging headship what also happens is the woman has lost respect of the children. The whole house is in discord.
This SAME dysfunction is reflected in the body of Christ is friendships!!! We are dying for BAD attention so we are surprised we are so alone!!! We don’t know how to follow Christ and be accountable ourselves so we are walking time bombs for our lack of obedience.
And our friends are in the same cycles. Then we have foolish leadership and pastors entertaining sin with feckless powerless lack of accountability from their own appointed leadership so the church falls into the same plights!!!
We need a healing from lack of accountability so we can repent!!! Then there won’t be grudges to hold!!!!
None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.
