Small tremors happen all the time. Most times we are not aware of small tremors that happen in the earth. But once in a while there is a bigger quake that comes along. These quakes are stronger than tremors. They are quakes. They can cause damage. They can cause destruction. They always cause re-alignments. It is their nature. Change and adjustments are never easy. They are not. But they are a part of life. Yet, even as a part of life They are hard to put up with.
When your family member, causes you heartbreak these are hard times. When you have a difficult time with a workmate these are hard times. When there are difficult times in church, these can be especially difficult to bear. Church should be a place of peace. Not of war. There are always different perspectives of how to do things. But there should not be different perspectives of what is right and wrong. This should not be so. What is right is Rom 14:13; do not be a stumbling block to each other. Rom 12:18; as far as it depends on you live at peace with each other. For me these verses are my way if life. I don't interfere in others lives. I don't get involved, nor support gossip, which brings hurts, pains, dissension, factions. I like my life to be private. I want peace. Yet there are times when seismic events happen to us. Take a breath... Assess. Focus. Realign. Adjust. Rebuild. Onwards.
