Conflict at a Crossroads

Every person will eventually come to a crossroads in life. For some, it reflects a conflict over whether to stay in a career or activate the freedom to pursue something different. However this choice may mean facing the insecurity of the unknown.

When divorce identifies a crossroads, either the husband or wife may want to save the marriage while the other is determined to end it. Divorce should reflect a struggle within each person who made a commitment to God, their families and friends, to make the marriage last in sickness and in health, for better or worse, richer or poorer, till death do they part.

Most people desire freedom from conflict, for conflict characterizes failure in some aspects of a relationship. Conflict communicates change is needed when it begins to dominate the healthy functioning of life. Conflicts can be resolved when two people choose with God’s guidance to do all within their power to ensure that healthy change takes place. May God give you strength and wisdom to do so.

This is what the Lord says: 
"Stand at the crossroads and look; 
ask for the ancient paths, 
ask where the good way is,and walk in it,
and you will find rest for your souls.
But you said: 'We will not walk in it.'"
~Jeremiah 6:16 New International Version

If you listen to me, you will know what is right, just, and fair. You will know what you should do. You will become wise, and your knowledge will give you pleasure. Your insight and understanding will protect you and prevent you from doing the wrong thing.
