Revelation

Day 22
No, not the book of the Bible, but general revelation, an "Aha" moment if you will.  Life likes to throw curve balls, good and bad.  And being in a serious relationship definitely has its share of curve balls.  Being with someone you love for a long time brings about many experiences to learn about each other.  Even in everyday relationships, there's always something yet to learn about people.  It's funny how many of those moments come in times of disagreement.  Think about it.  Unless you are completely selfless, focused totally on everyone else's well-being, you tend to get into disagreements, but you leave that disagreement with another tidbit of knowledge and wisdom pertaining the other person.  Wise people learn from their mistakes and from taking a good lesson away from an uncomfortable confrontation.  Foolish people fall into the same argument over and over again, never willing to learn how to better serve the other.  Kind of sounds like Proverbs, doesn't it?
I do not like confrontations or disagreements whatsoever.  But I've learned to view them as a chance to better know the person with whom I have a conflict.  Only by grace and by having the desire to learn to be more selfless can I take away a valuable lesson.  God, give me the grace and humility to continue to learn about other people so that I can better reflect You in how I improve upon serving them.  Thank You.
