Passion problems

Friday June 27th, Matthew 10: 34 "Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to turn " 'a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law - 36 a man's enemies will be the members of his own household.' When there is passion, there can be conflict. If your focus is on God and God’s calling, there are times when that calling takes precedence over the concerns of others. As the world tries to drag you back into the same old, same old, it is not easy to set a course for God’s calling. It also doesn’t mean that conflict is what God is after, there are plenty of texts to speak to the counter of that. What it does mean is that walking with God is not all a bed of roses. Doing the right thing, bringing things out in the open, tends to torque off a few people, and most often it is those close to you. In the end we are also called to love one another.
