Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit. (Ecclesiastes 7:8)
Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. (Ephesians 4:3)

Four attitudes that help us resolve conflicts

Conflicts are not new in the Kingdom of God, and we can learn from the examples of believers in the Scriptures who resolved conflicts in a proper way. We must learn to handle conflicts and resolve them according to the principles of the Kingdom of God. The Lord Jesus taught us how to resolve conflicts in a way that promotes a spirit of service among Christians. Conflict situations can be opportunities for growth and can even strengthen relationships if resolved in a Christian way. To resolve conflicts, we should listen to the other person, adopt a benevolent attitude, avoid using inflammatory language, and diligently keep the bond of peace. There are also powerful spiritual elements that we can learn from the Scriptures to maintain peace in Christian environments. Read more...

Luis Alfredo Ramírez Cano: James 1:19 Therefore, my beloved brothers, let everyone be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger, 20 for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God. Every situation brings its own position; we must know how to ask our beloved Father for wisdom to express our opinions or concepts when we are expressing a point of view, a position, or expressing disagreement. We must know how to express ourselves with great gentleness, kindness, and love, without losing authority in our speech. Likewise, we must ask the Lord and allow the fruits of the Holy Spirit to sprout in us, self-control, learn to bridle our tongue, open our ears, and have wisdom to find or propose a solution, with justice and peace for all parties. Let us be doers of the Word, not just hearers, for the Glory of Our Father.
Thank you for sharing, Luis Alfredo! Your reflection based on James 1:19-20 is powerful and full of wisdom. It's essential to remember the importance of being prudent in our speech, controlling our anger, and seeking God's justice in all situations. Asking the Lord for wisdom and allowing the fruits of the Holy Spirit to be manifested in us helps us act with love, gentleness, and kindness, maintaining authority in our words. May we continue to be doers of the Word, seeking the glory of our Father in everything we do. May the Lord continue to guide you in your journey! 🙏
Francisco Diaz S.: To maintain a discussion on important topics, we need to arm ourselves with sound knowledge and a solid foundation to support our opinion. We must also be flexible, accepting, and persuasive. In discussions on unimportant topics, it's best not to intervene; it's better to avoid them altogether.
Thank you for your input, Francisco! It's true that in discussions about important issues, it's vital to have solid knowledge and maintain an open attitude to accept different points of view. Flexibility and persuasion are key to reaching constructive agreements. On the other hand, in less important situations, it's sometimes wise to refrain from participating to avoid unnecessary conflict. May the Lord's wisdom guide you in your daily interactions and decisions! 🙏
Lucy Milena Molina : I thank Daddy God for this message. My children are now adults, one is 16 and the other is 24. They go around looking for information about Jesus that is wrong because it isn't based on what the Bible says, so sometimes we have conflicts at the table. I know God will do it His way and bring them back to His heart. In the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ, Amen, Amen, and Amen. Learning that what I should do is keep the peace and pray for them is the best. I ask you to pray for us as parents to be more like Jesus.
Lucy Milena, I appreciate your courage in sharing your experience and concerns. It's understandable that the search for the truth about Jesus can generate differences of opinion within the family, but trust that God has the power to guide your children to the Truth. Maintaining peace in the midst of conflict and entrusting the situation to God in prayer are wise and faith-filled steps. Constantly praying for your children and seeking to be more like Jesus in your example and love for them is a powerful path. May the Lord strengthen you and guide you in this season. May God bless and transform the hearts of your family in the name of Jesus Christ! 🙏
Sabino Marroqquin Lopez: I do not want to have arguments with anyone, but to stay on the path of GOD, amen.
Sabino, what a beautiful declaration of faith! Staying on God's path is the desire of many hearts seeking peace and harmony in their relationships. Avoiding arguments and keeping your gaze focused on following God is a noble and wise desire. May the Lord guide and strengthen you on your path of faith, and may you radiate His love and peace to all those around you. May God bless you and sustain you on His path! 🙏 Amen!
Ruth Vives.: It is important to remember that the propitiatory of peace is fundamental for mediating conflicts in life with our brothers and sisters. Maintain faith in God, who pours out mercy. God bless you. Amen.
Thank you for your reflection, Ruth! It's true that the principle of peace is essential for resolving conflicts in our lives and in our relationships with others. Maintaining faith in God, who pours out His mercy upon us, strengthens us in the midst of difficult situations. May God's peace guide your interactions and may His blessing be with you always. May God bless you richly! Amen! 🙏
Rodolfo Manuel Quirós Ramirez : Very apt, today's reflection, we must have a lot of self-control, and be focused on the Lord giving us his peace.
What an insightful comment, Rodolfo Manuel! Self-control and staying focused on the peace God offers us are key elements for facing conflicts with wisdom and love. Seeking the peace that comes from God helps us stay calm and approach situations from a perspective guided by His Spirit.
