Like Charcoal to smoldering embers and dry wood to a fire, so a hot tempered man kindles strife. Both in way of starting the strife by foolish proclamations and, ironically, by way of answering the person needing correction--wrongly.
When we, by way of laying aside the Holy Spirit, gather our right to respond we tie the stone to our sling-shot and honor the fool not correct him, becoming what we attempt to correct. God wants to correct, and he wants us not to; demands not to. This way you are confidently in peace, slow to speak, and yet purposefully answering the man, and also ironically not perfect yet yourself only working toward it. You need to answer him within God's guidance to reconcile the man, and address him in an unpretentious way of the Holy Spirit to remark to his conscience, so as may best end the debate.
Gods way to win thru us is our lost rights and adopted truths, not only for the betterment of the one you are in front of but equally for the one in front of God you know best between the two....this is life in motion,and the real need of a love answer should have a right to stand up, by you living rightly.
We ourselves need that unconditional love to exist over all things in our needs as we care to help those needs in others, we need people to love us when we have a moment. For people to correct us thru God's Word in love when we contend a grind in it..... Use Gods love, live Gods love, be Gods love, always accepting Gods love. This is where He's headed, and yet all the way He is all and in all, will we bow to that in how we act?
