It's hard to do - to take it first before the throne of God, and it takes GREAT discipline.

A humble response is always the best response, but not always the easiest, especially in the heat of the moment when we want to defend ourselves. (Yes, I have personal experience with this!)<br /><br />And Ps 141:3 is one I pray for myself DAILY. It never gets old :)<br />Hugs,<br />SusanSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04823919278259760743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7002150855181992808.post-3331817061185897852012-12-09T16:49:20.365-08:002012-12-09T16:49:20.365-08:00Kim,

I have a situation where I have humbled myself and gone to the person and apologized but the conflict appears to be ongoing. My only solution is to keep praying for this loved one and keep reaching out to them. But only God can mend the broken relationship. It needs nothing short of a miracle. <br />Thanks for sharing. <br />MeganinChristalone~Megan Vancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11595781095268450449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7002150855181992808.post-9854088582748542372012-12-07T15:53:47.493-08:002012-12-07T15:53:47.493-08:00Great word Hester!

It's so natural to complain but takes work and surrender to be gracious and thankful. I love the truth in your line, "Conflict is inevitable, but conciliation is a choice". A choice we have to make every day if we want to be connected to the heart of God. <br /> Thank you sister! ~ Love out, AmyAmyAlveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12236923018612126039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7002150855181992808.post-24278476194952165902012-12-07T11:17:22.371-08:002012-12-07T11:17:22.371-08:00Kirsten,

Bringing the issue to the one who has injured us instead of gossiping is only half of the equation: we must be prepared to receive it when we are the inuring party.
