Truth or Consequence?
Beloved, I know that you are hurting. The people you thought you could count on are letting you down left and right, leaving you feeling deserted and disappointed. You have borne your soul, spoken your truth and have drawn your boundaries clearly for all to scrutinize. Will they agree with your actions? Will they try to take what is not theirs to take? Will they punish you in some way, or retaliate? Will you be left to climb this lonely mountain path alone?
We assure you that you are most certainly not alone! Difficult times will always come along to challenge a relationship for this is what makes it stronger. But here is the real question: is this really a hill to die on, or can this quarrel become a learning experience that will deepen your understanding for each other?
Is there something hidden in your motives that you would rather not look at? Ask yourself the hard questions and be willing to answer them honestly - for this is where we can continue to stretch and grow ourselves, even far into adulthood. Are you asking someone to accept you for who you are, but secretly judging them for their opposing beliefs? Do you loathe a flaw in their character, but excuse the same trait in yourself? Could you love them for who they are, accept where they are in their journey and respect their boundaries? Can this be a hill for you to grow on? Remember that sometimes people come into your life and cause you headaches, not because you manifested or attracted trouble, but because you are the perfect person to help show them how walking in forgiveness and grace really does change the world!
You have the vantage point! You know what it is like to be in this person's shoes. Get in touch with that so you have a well of empathy to draw upon as you decide what is really important. Stand your ground and stay true to your convictions. Gather your courage, say what needs to be said with love, and then continue on your unique path. If they are meant to walk it with you then it will be so, whether now or in the future. If you are meant to part ways then let it be done peacefully, with dignity and in such a way that brings honor to all involved.
