“Don’t let evil conquer you, but conquer evil by doing good.”Romans 12:21 NLT
When friends do what is abhorrent to us, we may struggle to understand or give grace. I had this happen yesterday. A friend has done what I consider unconscionable, however, I need to find the full truth and make sure the problem is not me and my perfectionism.
Therefore , I have contacted another friend to ask advice. This friend has been faithful and on the money in the past, and so I will trust her again.
When we are perfectionists we can miss grace for that person or situation. We need to discover the full matter and God’s way of dealing with it. We cannot do this alone. If we have a godly friend who knows the full situation and has an outside perspective, then we can trust them. Then we must prayerfully listen.
Grace and truth! Amen!
