Both sides of a spiritual graft need to be readied for the contact. This is so because; each side of the contact will have its own unique behavioral seismology. Yes, it is true that, the LORD has interventions that will smooth over behavioral rough edges. To describe this type of smoothing, the word, balm, is used in Scripture. For instance . . .
When I would comfort myself against sorrow, my heart is faint in me. Behold the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people because of them that dwell in a far country: Is not the LORD in Zion? is not her king in her? Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images, and with strange vanities? The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt; I am black; astonishment hath taken hold on me. Is there no balm in Gilead; is there no physician there? why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?
(Jeremiah 8:18-22)Primarily, the reconciliation of the potential joining spot, at which, formerly rough edges are ordained to meet, occurs in an action that comes to us in the obvious power of God–as opposed to being shielded in the mystery of the omnipotence of the LORD. Though, paradoxically; it is a disruption that often appears to be, solely of human manufacture. Therefore; sometimes, we ignore the quiet smoothing that comes from interaction by the hidden things of God. We must not ignore them. We must not give the glory to man.
