Today was Resolving Conflicts by Fighting Fair .
If you only had one month to live ,you would want to know how to push through lingering issues and finally resolve conflicts with those you love.
We all have conflict management tatics that reflect our temperments, our experiences, or the examples we have had growing up.
Before you have a confrontation, you have to tell that person that you are committed to finding a solution together. No calling names or bringing up past mistakes will help the issue at hand.
God forgives us of our past mistakes just as we should forgive others, and past could even mean five minutes ago. You should be willing to endure the unpleasant feelings that come with confrontation because you value the relationship and want to perserve it.
Do not attack but do own your own feelings. If you accept the responsibility of your own mistakes you will be growing instead of wounding and regretting.
The Bible says be anger but sin not. Jesus got angry, he expressed his emotions, but he never sinned. But we must be able to deal with our anger and channel it so that the outcome is the Fathers will. The key is to walk with Him daily. This is the real secret to overcoming conflict and reconciling.
Describe in writing the last major conflict you had with a loved one. Imagine you are a spectator.
Was it a fair fight? What could you do from now on to lead to reconciliation?
