WHATS THE SOURCE?



Yesterday someone needed to see me on an urgent basis.He told me his story angrily.That he just got sacked from his job.Produced a stack of documents which the Company had sent to him and the letters he had sent to the Company.A series of documents,all of them grievances, threats of dismissal and finally the forced resignation.At least that was what he said."They forced me to resign"

I paused here,sat back and told him- Behind all these letters is a strained relationship somewhere.Speak the Truth.Whom did you offend? He was silent for a while and said."It was my Supervisor".

Behind all the hurtful attitudes of people,there is a burning sensation in someones heart.Someone has been hurt,wounded,provoked, disrespected,lied to,or hurt by their own people.Regrettably,this happens in the church,too.It happens all the time.Not much has changed since the time Paul wrote to the Church at Corinth.

When relationships go bad,there is so much pain,so much anger.The desire for revenge,to even the score takes hold.That....@#$%^&***..In any conflicts,find out the source.Your responses too may not have reflected any maturity on your part.Think and re-examine your personal issues.Should I have uttererd those words? Maybe I should not have written that letter.Face the truth now!There's no more place for pretence.You have do this- before any solution is in sight.

Grace and Peace to You from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

P.S.I will be taking up the above brothers case in the Industrial Court.
