I appreciate that! Thanks!

Thanks for this Jedi level teaching!

Great wisdom as usual and as Melissa said this is something that should be taught in schools I believe as a priority. Relationships good and bad make us sharper as Mark said. Just like the cross one piece of wood going one way one piece of wood going the other way and also remembering the sacrifice made in the middle and to remember we all have choices in growing into christlikeness that will take effort on our part also. So happy for people like you Mark and Melissa not only putting forth the effort to grow but also sharing your wisdom from the holy spirit with others 🙏

❤️ thank you

This has been extremely insightful ! It has so many facets I'll need to listen to it several times. Then listen to it periodically as the journey continues to absorb new things I didn't pick up on last time. Great info ! Thanks !!

So glad Scott!

Great job guys! Keep them coming! Just because I believe something does not make it true. We have got to learn to see life not only thru our paradigm. But also through the lens of other people’s experiences.

Re watching b/c I kept getting interrupted the 1st time LOL!! YES .... Working through issues, wanting resolve to get to the next level, are what responsible adults do ! Kinda coincides with the Hebrews 5: 12,13 & 14 ~ Do the right thing! OR Go back to square 1 :)

Hello Mark and Melissa! Loving your segments. Sending love and prayers from Texas.

Well you want to come with a list when you have never been heard by the other person. But you’re right, I would like him to hear it and feel it.

I hear ya

Does this mean it doesn’t matter if you did not truly say anything hurtful but the other person got hurt because they completely misinterpreted what you said? Am I still supposed to just apologize and NOT say that is not what I meant? I have gotten into a fight with a friend like this. Me trying to explain what I really meant only made her madder. But I really didn’t say what she thought I said. We never came to any resolution, and I feel like I never know if something I say is going to cause offense. She would not believe that was not my intention. On the other hand I know I have assumed hurtful intentions in my marriage, and I do just want my husband to apologize for hurting me-not try to make excuses. It’s confusing.

I have found that in situations where I believed I didn't say anything wrong, taking a posture of humility can help the dialogue. "Im sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you at all" helps to meet the person where they are at. If she didn't believe you, then her hurt may be blocking her heart from seeing anything else. Of course I wasn't there. But I have found that there are many times that no matter what I do, the other person is not wanting to have a healthy dialogue. I have to take my peace on that.

Mark, What do you mean by relationships sharpen us?

@@marktdejesus Like how to resolve conflicts and confronting that grows us and matures us - that is sharpening? Your message is so timely!!! I have been praying about it and your message is an answer. Good things to know and be aware of. Thanks Mark. 🤗

What if it's a family member who's showing you hostility? 'I've been reluctant to let go, like milessa said l keep trying to "fix" it, and taking abuse that l normally wouldn't take, he's in deception ( we're Christians the result of a false teaching ) but l feel l need permission to give up on him? This has gone on for years, he's become toxic, l prayed about his hostility, then l heard ; you'll know a tree by its fruit!
