Conflict Resolution - Making Peace
|
"If
it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with
everyone."
— Romans
12:18 |
| God wants us to have peace and to be peacemakers. |
| When we make peace we delight our Lord; when we neglect
peacemaking we grieve God. |
- Do you have, or know of, a relationship that is broken and
needs reconciliation?
|
- Perhaps even now you are at odds with someone else and can't
figure out how to get over the dispute.
|
- Perhaps your estrangement has gone on for a long time and it
continues to bother you.
|
| Among the many intriguing questions that will be discussed: |
- Why do some peacemaking efforts fail?
|
- Does forgiveness have to be earned? How do you do that?
|
- What do you do if the person who hurt you shows no remorse or
repentance?
|
- If you've had a long-standing grievance, that still bothers
you, how do you get over it?
