Relationships are difficult. This is because we as individuals are difficult. The are various ways to describe the reasons for this difficulty. Each one has merit and contributes to the overall picture.
We are all difficult because of our sinful nature.
We are all difficult because of our emotional and psychological baggage.
We are all difficult because we are self-centered.
We are all difficult because we have not surrendered our will.
We are all difficult because of our different personalities.
We are all difficult because of our immaturity.
We are all difficult because we are in process.
Relationships seem hopeless, don’t they? What is the answer? The biblical solution is reconciliation. It is only in Christ that two can come together in fellowship and not let the “difficult” destroy them.
Only the blood of Christ can transform our sinful nature.
Only the blood of Christ can help us turn loose of our emotional and psychological baggage.
Only the blood of Christ helps us surrender our self and our will.
Only the blood of Christ can reconcile differences.
Only the blood of Christ can bring us to maturity.
Only the blood of Christ provides the life-giving sustenance to keep us in the process of becoming.
Yes, relationships are difficult, but they are full of potential, vitality, excitement and promise through the reconciling blood of Jesus Christ!
