Always right and recognized as such?

Are we always right and recognized as such? One might ask the question, do we have to be? Can we be wrong? Can we apologize for the sake of peace? Can we consider the possibility of being wrong or even just admit being wrong even if we're not?! It is actually required of us. If you haven't been tested in this and successfully passed, you will be. It is necessary for our maturity, our spiritual maturity, for peace, health, well-being, and our character growth, our marriages, and relationships. Jesus was tempted in all ways as we, which tell us we too will most likely be in this as well. Hebrews 4:15 "who has been tempted in every way, just as we are --yet was without sin." Psalm 31:23+24 "Love the Lord, ...The Lord preserves the faithful, but the proud He pays back in full. Be strong and take heart" Do we always have to win an argument? Can we take the fall, and apologize even when we think we are right and may even be so? In every "healthy" marriage or any "good" relationship it is necessary to do just that. We all likely know someone who could never truly apologize because they are too proud or possibly arrogant. Or maybe they're, actually, too insecure. When we see this in someone it can be shocking. Are we really always right and do we need people to think so?! We actually gain confidence and strenth through humility. We put our trust in God. The Spirit leads, and we gain peace and love through humility. We think, how could someone be so deluded to think they themselves infallible or just not wrong for whatever reason. It is a part of maturity and maturity in character to realize our fallibility. I, personally, am somewhat horrified when I realize I'm wrong on a matter, especially one I've taken a stand on, but it does happen to us each. What about when we aren't wrong? Can we agree to disagree for the sake of peace? Can we just take the fall, apologize, even let others believe they are right or let a third party think you are wrong even when you're clearly not? It is Required of us! If we ourselves can't testify to this, we may have a problem that we ourselves may not want to hear. We are called to humble ourselves, to turn the other cheek, and to do so for another, for our spouse, our neighbor, our coworker, etc. for "love" for them. It is a requirement of love, one of those we don't want to hear. It may be required for the salvation of a friend, a coworker, a spouse, or even our own. It is plain Hard when put to the test. Deep love growing within us makes it easier. The Holy Spirit is faithful to Always guide, providing we are walking in the Spirit. It's Hard truth, But it is also, So incredibly important, for at least one of us, likely for all involved! We are to be meek, but we are to be strong in our meekness. Sometimes, it takes strength to be wrong. Psalms 37:11 "the meek will inherit the land and enjoy great peace." Matt. 5:5 "Blessed are the meek, they will inherit the earth." Much love, Henry. Be Only Blessed!
