Larry is the author of two books and his devotions are published weekly around the world. There were two unmarried sisters who lived together but because of an argument stopped speaking to each other. Since neither one could afford to move they continued to live in the same rooms, use the same appliances and eat at the same table all without one word spoken between them. A chalk line divided the sleeping area in half so that each could hear the breathing of the other but because both were unwilling to reconcile, they coexisted for years in numbing silence. We all have disagreements with friends and family.
Some arguments are obviously more serious than others.
Yet, refusing to reconcile can have grave consequences on your life, your health and even your relationship with God. A willingness to confess wrong and forgive on the other hand can be a major turning point. No one understood the power of reconciliation better than Jacob. Jacob followed his twin brother, Esau at birth grabbing his heel. Throughout his life, Jacob grabbed, deceived and conned to get his way.
