Agree to disagree

Have you ever had to “agree to disagree” with someone? If you have, you know it’s a pain. I do. It’s not easy.

But then, when it happens, it’s a reminder that:

You’re different from that other human being. Not better. Not worse. Just different.
The truth may yet come to the surface, and show which of you is wrong — if not both of you. So, just wait.
The disagreement may never be settled, because each of you holds his own view to be the only right and true one — and is not prepared to listen to the other. Hardheadedness and pride abound.
You have to learn to live with each other in spite of not agreeing on everything.
Maybe the issue is not that important after all.

Agree to disagree is sometimes God’s way of teaching us patience and relationship skills.

I’m telling you, God is a hard teacher!
