Humans in general have all had a time, probably more than once where we have experienced a broken“fence” in our relationship with God, friendship, or kinship. In these times, it more than likely seemed that whatever had happened, made us or the other individual want to walk away. While we are reviewing methods of mending relationships - God’s way, we know that we often become intolerable of certain behaviors. Some are justified, but we must remember exactly what God tells us to do.
Some individuals are slow to speak, some speak without thinking it through and some just turn the other way and walk off. The latter is the best policy, but so many people lack this virtue. When words are said and deeds are done, they cannot be reversed. This is why God urges us to:
“Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.” 1 Corinthians 15:33 (KJV)
If we are professing to live for Christ, it should be easy not to offend in deed. However, the human nature is often weak. If you believe in God, you must believe that there is a Satan who wants to tamper with our salvation. He wants us to fail, and be lacking in Christ. These things ought not to be, but often happen.
