Handling Conflict

So, this morning, I'm at Starbucks and guess what Samantha did. She dropped her phone on the floor. And, thank you to this really nice guy, Matt for picking it up for me! I gave him a card and I pray that you will be encouraged by my writings! Have a great day! Okay, folks, I gotta make this pretty quick because I need to get to the set of Chicago Med this morning. Pray that we don't go past 11 p.m. tonight but will wrap up super early!

I think you will find my writing a bit interesting today. Like you don't find it interesting on other days right?? Hehe. Today I'm going share a deep thought that, to me, makes a lot of sense!

That is this. Well, to avoid getting into a conflict with someone, why don't you try talking to the person rather than about that person? Talking about people can only lead to one thing. And that one thing will probably not be good.

And when you end up talking to that person, I know it might be hard but try to do it in a loving way. Make sure you two are equally carrying the listening part and talking to each other part. Try not to accuse the person and try not to make your fault seem right or justifiable by bringing forth excuse after excuse.

Did you know that running away from conflict or escaping it is a sin? We are supposed to confront the conflict!
"Don’t run away. Don’t be overwhelmed. Rather do what you can. You can make a difference. As St Paul writes, ‘Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good’ (Romans 12:21)." [1 Year bible]

To reiterate, I know often times we just don't want to approach the person we are in conflict with. However, if we don't correct the conflict, there is a strong possibility it will negatively travel to outsiders.  The final result can only end up really bad if you don't correct it privately first
