1 | need to explain | Luke 6:27 | chrisatissac | 190481 | ||
thanks for the verses but what if it is not your enemy but a relative like say your mother in law. She was really horrible in the beginning, during the wedding preps, on our wedding day and during the pregnancy until she found out that it was a girl instead of a boy and now i guess she is trying to move forward. I have talk to God about this and i know that i dont have to take that kind of treatment and that i need time to heal the wounds that have been put there. So i have stopped trying to have a relationship with her and now she doesn't seem to understand why. She says that she is a christian but doesnt understand why i am hurt by her. I love her with God's love but i just dont want to go through anymore with her. Where in the bible does it say that i can love someone but not have a relationship with them? i remember my old pastor giving a sermon on that but it was a few years ago. please help me to explain this to her with God's word. | ||||||

It seems that there is a break in your relationship with your mother-in-law because you have been hurt by her emotionally, and she won’t repent of what she has done. (By repentance I mean asking for forgiveness and changing her ways.) If we do not repent of our sins, then our relationship with God is broken (Isaiah 59:2). Similarly, unless she repents and you forgive her, you two are not reconciled, and your relationship is broken. If you would like to distance yourself from her, then you have the right to do that for the right reasons. If you don't think the relationship between you two will work out, then try to shorten phone calls politely and try to limit the number of visits politely. These things you can do and still love her. When you see that a relationship won't work out, you can limit it. But do all of this to be profitable with your time and energy, not out of bitterness or anger towards her; forgive her in your heart (Matthew 18:22) and love (I John 3:11) her but take the necessary steps because you see that the relationship between you two is strained. Also, your responsibility as a mother is to care your children. This includes protecting them from physically and emotionally abusive situations. If your grandmother is hurting you and your child sees that, the child will be hurt emotionally. |
