Conflict in relationships is always an opportunity that opens a door to a deeper, more meaningful & intimate connection, if viewed & resolved from a godly perspective. Jesus modeled dealing with conflict in the gospels & He was unwilling to settle for anything less than the truth & freedom God promised.
Many avoid conflict because it takes time & it's uncomfortable-it requires people to be honest, vulnerable, bring their flaws into the light, take responsibility for insecurities, prefer the other person's feelings & make apologies. The process is tiring...but the investment is priceless!
This healthy conflict process leads to increase truth in relationships & truth is the foundation for freedom to be exercised-walking out the good works God planned long ago! Those willing to address conflicts invest their time, mind & hearts & it pays off with a high yield return of peace & enjoyment throughout the course of the relationship! Those unwilling to address conflict settle for mediocrity, strain & strife; a baseline of dissatisfaction...they opt out of the freedom God promises for every truth centered relationship. Are you willing to address the conflict in your relationships so you can live in the truth & freedom God promises? (Eph 4:24-28, Jn 8:32, Phil 2:14, Pr 8;7, 2 Cor 3:17) 9/28/13CIFL-LMM #healthyconflict #relationships #truthbased #honesty #christianinsightforlife www.facebook.com/christianinsightforlife
