Have you ever noticed that you have relationship reflexes? There are ways each of us react when we engage in our relationships. Maybe you immediately reflex a defensive answer? Maybe you shy away and stuff all of your feelings inside to prevent any type of negative interaction? No matter how your reflex shows up, it is most likely part of your daily life. Our hope is to be as healthy as possible in our relationships with each other. Romans 12:18 tells us, "If possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone." If our reflexes are not healthy ones, we cannot be living at peace in our relationships. We are to take each unhealthy reflex we have and lay it at the foot of the cross. Only then, can we truly begin to take up His love for others. He can then transform our reflexes into ones He desires.
