Proverbs 22-24; Romans 14

Proverb 24: 11-12 Rescue the perishing;
don't hesitate to step in and help.If you say,
"Hey, that's none of my business,"
will that get you off the hook?Someone is watching you closely, you know—
Someone not impressed with weak excuses.

This attraction to marriages in 'crisis', this desire to point them only and simply to YOU....it is of YOU then...?

24:26 An honest answer
is like a warm hug.
The key is answer.....WAIT to be asked.....

And then Romans 14:1...The whole problem with me and C's.. we're always 'jumping all over' each other..

"STOP! Seek more to understand than to be understood"

Whoa Father, You know that hurts.....how hard that is.....how much I need to BE understood....how much I...ahhhh I get it....I need YOU to be in relationship .....hmmm I get it now.....why is it so hard to keep....??? I make it about me all the time don't I?? I make everything about me....talking to someone else last nite about all this...why would I think...???

Romans 14:9 That's why Jesus lived and died and then lived again: so that he could be our Master across the entire range of life and death, and free us from the petty tyrannies of each other.

Not just my fault ~ self contempt
Not just their fault ~ other contempt
In having contempt for contempt ....
leaning back into Your love....
YOUR love and seeking to understand them.....
free them from the tyranny of needing to understand me....
Please Please HELP me Father...please. I can't do this, any of it without You.....
