Dear One,
When it looks like an argument is ensuing, graciously retreat from the disagreement, giving the opposing party the idea that he may be right.
If you are right in your opinion, your gracious act of succumbing to the opinion of the other person will result in My ability to prove which idea or thought or dogma or opinion was right in the disagreement. That is called gracious living.
I can't prove you right or wrong unless you give the other person the opportunity to be right. That is called righteousness.
Remember that I told you many times, "Would you rather be right or would you rather be righteous?"
You chose being righteous many times and then I proved you right by circumstances and it was "sweet" as you called it.
Some people will declare until death that they are right, all the time being wrong in their opinions.
Let me prove whether you are right or wrong in an argument or disagreement.
Keeping peace with your adversary is better than being right. Righteousness has its wonderful and just rewards which are peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
Strife always has its horrible and evil rewards which is often continual wars of varying degrees, and often death to the relationship or the business or the family or the nation or a person.
I never speak idle words. I told you to make peace with your adversary for a reason. It is so he won't extract everything from you and you end up in prison, either an actual prison, a social prison or a mental prison.
Ask yourself regularly, "Would I rather be right or would I rather be righteous?" Then make the proper adjustments in your attitude.
Being righteous is laying down your opinion in deference to the opinions of another person in an effort to keep peace. When you can do that, if you are right I will prove you right. Either way, whether you are right or wrong, your blessings will continue to pour into your life. because you have keep peace.
Love, God
