“A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.” (Ephesians 6:10)
In Ephesians 5:22-6:9, God’s Word provides us with guidance on marriage, family, and work relationships. Every connection we cultivate—whether harmonious or challenging—involves imperfect people. When God calls us to submit to one another, He invites us to trust Him, recognizing that none of us are perfect. Jesus emphasizes the importance of extending forgiveness continually.
“Then Peter came to Him and said, ‘Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?’ Jesus said to him, ‘I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.'” (Matthew 18:21-22)
In the heat of relational challenges, God offers us the opportunity to believe and trust in His glorious promises of forgiveness and grace. It is through faith that we can envision healing in our relationships. When we face points of contention with disdain or a lack of forgiveness, we risk allowing worry and fear to take root. It’s crucial to anchor our focus in God’s eternal promises, especially in a world that often feels temporary and fleeting.
“Broken relationships can be healed.”
“As God offers us Forgiveness and Grace, so should we.”
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, grant me the strength to apply Your Word through Your Spirit in all my relationships. Help me to rise above the temporary frustrations and fix my gaze on the eternal truths. Thank You for Your forgiveness. I ask for the grace to forgive others, especially when painful memories resurface. Remind me to let go of the burdens of bitterness, as I trust in Your promise of freedom. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
