The avoidance of conflict is neither a realistic nor a healthy goal. Embracing the struggle leads to some of the greatest opportunities for life change in the world.
Reflection Questions:
- Do I tend to avoid or run towards conflict? What might that reveal about me? What change of heart do I desire God to bring about in me?
- How have I grown as a result of some conflict in my relationships in the past?
- What is the next step God is calling me to make to work toward reconciliation in a relationship? What is the real issue that has been holding me back from taking that step?
