You have the power to choose and the power to choose is the power to change.

You’re either justified by grace, or you’re not justified at all in God’s economy.
Was it his words, or his actions?
Did he say, “Let me pray about it.”
“ GO AND DO”
Anger is inevitable, and in itself, it not sin.
But it must be ruled over by your spirit.
We have been given the ministry of reconciliation.
Our power to choose is our power to change!
“as it depends on you” is your part to play in peace and restoration; however, when you do your part, you can still pray that God will do His part.

6 Steps to Restoration
Step One
Acknowledge the Good in One Another
This leads us to step two.
Step Two
Recall the Good Memories
If you are constantly rehearsing your bad memories or your spouses short-comings; there is very little hope that your marriage will improve.
You are hard-wiring your brain for failure.
Step Three
Acknowledge Painful Memories and Experiences
This isn’t just Pollyanna, pie-in-the-sky ignoring our problems.
We acknowledge our feelings; we choose not to focus on them and allow them to override our will.
(Our power to choose is our power to change!)
Our power to choose is our power to change!
Step Four
Forgive from the Heart
But I don’t “feel” like choosing… START BOSTON VIDEO NOW
According to the prophet Boston: It’s “More Than a Feeling”.
Our power to choose is our power to change!
Step Five
Commit to Live Together in Christian Love
Acknowledge God in your relationship, don’t hide in shame, invite Him into your nasty, unloving feelings and your petty and selfish arguments.
Pray 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 for 30 days

Make a Commitment Toward One Another
Our power to change!
Step Seven
Bless One Another
