What makes our hearts melt when we sit in the theater and watch a great love story? It's not the hero's physical strength or his beloved's beauty. You and I are drawn to the power of true love and its inexplicable ability to prevail despite tragedy and hardship (often the greater the conflict the greater the love).

A problem comes though, when we get accustomed to seeing relational problems solved in the time it takes to eat a bag of popcorn. Our hero and his beauty have less than two hours to defeat the dragons and overcome unspeakable challenges. You and I are not going to magically resolve any relationship conflict in our own wisdom, and definitely not in less than two hours.
However, the Author of love, our Prince of Peace, has written a script. His Word on real-life, royal relationships can lead us to the happy ending we long for!
Many of you, like myself have been wounded by someone and it is hard to let go of that pain.

Let's take a moment and look at King David's example of handling a fierce King Saul who once loved David, but grew bitterly jealous and envious of the call God had on the future King's life. David was running from a man who was trying to hurt, hinder and even kill him. Yet David, in God's strength, was able to resist the temptation to kill his enemy when he came upon the sleeping King Saul. From a human perspective David had good reason to kill Saul. He had made David's life miserable and was now seeking to kill him.
Saul was after David without a just reason. Even Saul's son, Jonathan took David's side during the hunt. But David, the future anointed king, did something much greater than take revenge. He deferred to God's will and obeyed the command not to strike down the man God had placed on the throne. In other words, He did what his God wanted Him to do.
