You know there comes a time when even the people that you feel closest to piss you off. And there comes a time where you find yourself at that crossroads and what are you going to do. Well let me tell you if you’re faithful you say okay everybody blanket amnesty. You’re all guilty but I’m guilty more. Because I let your s*** get to me and nobody else did that to me. And if I’m in Jesus and if I’m faithful and if I believe the words that I’m saying then I only have one road forward then it’s the one least traveled but it’s the narrow road that leads to the door that takes you where you want to go. And if you don’t know what I’m talking about then let’s schedule coffee and we’ll break it down.
Matthew 7:13–14 (NIV)
“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction… But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.”
That’s the crossroads moment you’re describing.
If we let Scripture fill out what you’re saying in your own words, these come right alongside it:
Colossians 3:13 (NIV)
“Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.”
→ Blanket amnesty. Not because they’re innocent—but because you are forgiven.
Romans 12:18 (NIV)
“If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.”
→ You owning your side of the reaction, not excusing theirs.
Romans 12:21 (NIV)
“Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.”
→ Choosing the harder road when offense tries to rule you.
Luke 17:3–4 (NIV)
“If your brother or sister sins against you, rebuke them; and if they repent, forgive them… even seven times in a day.”
→ Faithfulness isn’t pretending it didn’t hurt—it’s deciding what governs you next.
It’s about choosing responsibility over resentment, forgiveness over justification, and the narrow road over being right—not because people didn’t wrong you, but because Christ has already claimed you.
