Good morning, good morning, good morning.

Good morning, everyone, and welcome back to another Mornings with the Masters.

We're devote ourselves to the Lord daily with you.

We were picking back up with New Morning mercies, I'm just going to take from here.

It says this,

I have been married for many years. I have a wonderful wife. I've hoped for years that she won't

realize what a bad deal she got. From a distance, you would conclude that we basically have a problem-free

marriage, but our relationship is still messy. We typically spend Mondays together. We love these days and enjoy the

ability to spend them with one another. But somewhere in the middle of a recent Monday, a

misunderstanding erupted between us. We both got a bit defensive. The tension was very obvious.

Too much silence followed until we asked one another's forgiveness. Too minor to worry about, you say,

but these are the moments that we live in. I tell people all the time that we don't just live

in big, important moments. We make only a few grand decisions in our entire lives. Most of us

won't have a biography written about us. After we die, most of our personal history will die with us,

forgotten. We live in little moments. So the character of our relationships is not set in three or

four big moments, but in 10,000 little moments of life. What do these little moments of your

relationships look like? How are you dealing with the messiness that lives there?

The reality is that you and I have never had a relationship in our lives that hasn't disappointed us

in some way. Why is this so universally true? It is true because we all carry into each of our

relationship something that is destructive to them. It is something that produces

antisocial instincts in all of us. It's something that can make us impatient, self-serving,

irritable, proud, critical, and demanding. This relationally destructive thing is sin.
