It's Better to Do Right Than To Be Right

I read a sign this week that said,"You don't have to attend every argument you are invited to." I thought wow that is good and it is so true, but then today I can add that it's also" better to do right than to be right." If you were raised as a performance driven person you will really understand this. Those of us who were raised like this always had to be on top of our game, always had to be the best, shine the brightest, and on and on because that's when we received love and approval from those who mattered most to us. To me that was one of the hardest lessons to learn after I accepted Christ, the fact that I didn't have to DO something to earn His love. God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, loved me way before I ever loved them and whatever I did for God --He had already predestined for me to do those works in the first place! Works stem from Salvation, works don't produce Salvation! Hallelujah!!!

Ever felt like you have to have the final word or you have to win that argument? You can raise your hand in the privacy of your own home it's ok. (-: Well that is a pretty good indicator of a prideful nature. In contrast, a willingness to admit error points to a humble spirit. It is better to admit that we don't have all the answers and/or confess our error than to just argue the fact until we end up winning a spot on the devils debate team! Check this Scripture out-
Proverbs 13:10 (The Message)

Arrogant know-it-alls stir up discord,
but wise men and women listen to each other's counsel

Pride is a slippery stick, a nasty stick, that we lean on to prop ourselves up; that's why it goes before a fall.

In any situation or relationship always seek to do right instead of seeking to be right. God knows and He cares and He will always bring the truth to light if we ask Him to. We have to love our mates and others enough to admit when we are wrong or just don't have the answers right then instead of yielding ourselves to pride and giving the enemy an open door into our relationships. Humility always promotes a peaceful resolution and wants to do right, pride on the other hand has to be right at any costs and isn't concerned about doing right. Which one of these do you think Heaven will back? God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble. James 4:6

As couples...as Christians... when we do what's right, God can then in turn make it right (-:

Have a great week ahead Visitors, FB & Twitter couples & make each moment you have with your spouse special!
