Our relationships with others can sometimes be eye-opening. No two people are the same, and everyone we come into contact with brings different life experiences and emotional baggage into the relationship. When we least expect it, emotions can boil over and a simple misunderstanding can erupt into a dramatic reaction. This was illustrated in Martha’s strong disapproval of Mary’s behavior when Jesus visited them. As long as there are people with distinct personalities shaped by their upbringing and personal values, drama can happen everywhere. We can be blindsided by it if we’re not prepared; asking God to help us when we need it is the key to prospering and succeeding in our emotional lives. Reaching a point of emotional maturity that helps us recognize when drama is heading our way gives us the ability to handle it successfully and maintain peace and tranquility.
