"But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ. Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord." Philippians 3:7-8 ESV
In times of conflicts, masusubok ang faith natin. The more important question is not “how can we avoid conflict?”, but “how do we respond in ways na consistent sa gospel, in ways na nagpapakita na ang security natin ay nasa identity natin kay Cristo wala sa kayamanan o sasabihin ng ibang tao, in ways na reflection ng Christlikeness”? The way we respond to conflict will also reveal kung nasaan o nakanino ang tiwala natin.
Kahit na ang ating asawa ay mahirap pakisamahan, dapat tayong magpatuloy sa paggawa sa kanya ng kabutihan. That is grace even when marriage is hard. And it will always be hard, unbeliever man o believer ang asawa natin. So we need more of his grace to help us. And that grace is none other than Jesus.
