In the event of injury inflicted by a brother, sister, husband, wife, or loved one follow these procedures:
Keep calm (HO-SLOW). Still your soul before God at the moment of impact (DIVINE-GUARD). Rushing about trying to correct the injury usually causes greater damage.
HO-SLOW-DIVINE-GUARD.
Apply direct pressure of understanding to the wound (JUDGE). What caused the incident? (LISTEN) Could you have prevented it? (LIMIT) Negligence? (FIFTY-THREE) How does the offended party feel? (ADJUST) What if things were reversed? (REVERSE)
JUDGE-LISTEN-LIMIT-FIFTY THREE-ADJUST-REVERSE.
Wash the wound thoroughly with kindness to remove all harshness and vindictiveness.
TINY-DIVINE-LOVE-MAGNANIMITY.
Coat liberally with the ointment of love (LOVE). This will protect one from the infections of resentment and bitterness (PURGE-CLEAR-FORGIVE).
LOVE-PURGE-CLEAR-FORGIVE.
Bandage the injury with forgiveness (FORGIVE). This will keep it out of sight until the wound is healed (ALONE).
FORGIVE-ALONE.
Don't pick the scab off by bringing up the subject and opening the wound (QUIET-ALONE). Serious damages from the infection in no.4 still exist. This could be fatal spiritually (REVERSE-RESTORE-BE).
QUIET-ALONE-REVERSE-RESTORE-BE.
Beware of self-pity which is painful and touchy (PHASE-CHANGE-ADJUST). This is often referred to as withdrawing pains, evidenced by the injured one withdrawing from others, especially the one inflicting the injury. Remedy - accept apologies (MAGNANIMITY-FORGIVE-FOREVER).
PHASE-CHANGE-ADJUST-MAGNANIMITY-FORGIVE-FOREVER.
Prescription: Take a generous dose of antibodies from the word of God several times daily, using prayer/meditation each time (ELATE-WITH-LOVE). This has a soothing effect and is definitely a good pain killer (FORGIVE-WITH-LOVE).
ELATE-WITH-LOVE-FORGIVE-WITH-LOVE.
Stay in close contact with a great physician at all times (DIVINE-BE). Depend upon His strength, joy, and peace to help you in your convalescence (ALIGN-WITH-DIVINE-LOVE).
DIVINE-BE-ALIGN-WITH-DIVINE-LOVE.
Evidence of full recovery is noticed when the patient is in full fellowship and harmony, especially with the offending party.
FORGIVE-FOREVER-WITH-DIVINE-LOVE.
