Ron: One sure sign of a mature person: grace under fire.
Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.
Ron: No one likes to be insulted, right? But how someone responds to an insult tells you something about their maturity. Proverbs 12:16 clearly distinguishes fools, who are quickly annoyed by insults and the wise who calmly overlook an insult. I think we’re all challenged by this passage, but let me speak to stepparents just for a minute.
When a stepchild criticizes how you care for them, or your spouse’s ex calls you a dirty name it is grace under fire that wins the day. Without a doubt, insults hurt, but in Christ, you can stay calm, rise above, and respond in love. For FamilyLife Blended, I am Ron Deal.
