Conflict during the Christmas holidays (yesterday), I hate when that happens!! During this time, everyone is supposed to be happy, loving, smiling, cuddling, giggling, singing and giving right?
Christmas scenes in our minds, are often picture perfect. We expect our homes and cars to continually resemble the cheer and glee matching the cards and commercials of the season.
The reality is, however, that although most of us are generally happier during this time of year, we are not exempt from conflicts and arguments, even sadness and depression. Jeoff and I had our conflict yesterday. (wah! wah! wah!).
But you know what gave me hope and assurance of a good ending?
Remembering the ultimate conflict.
Mankind - FULL of sin, clashed with God almighty - FULL of holiness, grace and truth.
The result was...... redeemed man, loved, forgiven, and FULL of peace!!
Without Christ there's no way we could have this peace. Even in stressful times, when it's very difficult to see a positive end, we must know beyond the shadow of a doubt, that Christ our savior is standing in the gap for us. Reconciling us back to God and restoring peace in our relationships.
Merry CHRISTmas!!!!
