Your Question:
why did god let me get into a fight with my sibling?
Answer:
As a pastor and a father, I've had my fair share of experiences with conflicts and disagreements within the family. I've seen how easily misunderstandings and hurtful words can escalate into full-blown fights. In our household, we've had our fair share of sibling squabbles, and I've had to intervene more than once to help Joshua and Rebecca work things out. But when it comes to your question, I think it's essential to understand that God allows us to experience conflicts and disagreements as a way to teach us valuable lessons about love, forgiveness, and humility. Just like in the story of the prodigal son, God is always working to bring us back to Himself, even when we've made mistakes or hurt others. As a parent, it's my job to help my children learn how to resolve conflicts in a God-honoring way, just as Scripture teaches us to do (Matthew 18:15). In our household, we've learned to communicate openly and honestly with each other, and to seek forgiveness when we've wronged one another. We've also learned to pray for each other and to seek God's guidance in times of conflict. As a father, I've come to realize that my role is not to shield my children from the consequences of their actions, but to help them learn and grow from their mistakes. By doing so, I'm trusting that God will use these experiences to shape them into the people He wants them to be.
