restore, this is how "I" see it: according to Scripture, when someone mistreats me, I don't have the "right" to complain, now if it is a brother/sister in Christ, we need to confront the person and settle out of court the differences, we are not to take our problems between our selves before the world. as to the problem you have with your neighbor's coal smoke??? Examine the situation and see if the Lord has been trying to teach you anything out of the problem. we go through trials in our lives for reasons the Lord has planned, nothing is an accident. Is it an actual attack of the enemy and if so what can the Lord bring about for good out of it? Is He trying to teach to love your neighbor, even when he is unlovable and spiteful? Can the Lord use the situation to bring your neighbor into the kingdom? |
