When we have conflict or stress in a relationship, we often avoid addressing that issue with the person. Instead, we tend to involve another person. Jesus gave us very different instructions.
Relationships can be tricky, and trusting our gut to help us navigate those troubles is generally a bad idea. Our default settings push us toward selfishness and consumerism, when the opposite is needed.
After years and years of their unfaithfulness, and his pleading for them to repent, the Lord shows how far he will go to bring his people back, and how eager he is to restore them in full.
Jesus knew what it was to be attacked, and he knew how much more it hurt when it was personal. The people he loved most failed fantastically to love him well in return. Each time he forgave (which is remarkable), but he didn’t stop there.
A strange and often overlooked prophetic vision, demonstrates the beauty of God’s advancing kingdom, and illuminates our role in seeing in restoration in the driest and lowest places.
Scripture: Ezekiel 47:1-12
