I'm on Day 20 of Reading "Purpose Driven Life". Today the author speaks about restoring relationships. While reading this particular page, I had a "Light Bulb" moment.
It says "In conflict, time heals nothing; it causes hurts to fester". I've never heard of that or really thought about it. I've been so used to the old saying
.
We've all heard that at least once right? Until today, I really believed in that. Time really doesn't heal anything when it comes to pain. It actually causes things to become worse. The longer you hold on to hurts, pain, conflict, etc. The longer those things can and will consume you. Do you have any broken meaningful relationships in your life that needs to be restored?
Here are 7 Key Steps To Restoring Fellowship:
*Talk to God before talking to the person.
*Always Take The Initiative
*Sympathize With Their Feelings
*Confess My Part Of The Conflict
*Attack The Problem, Not The Person
*Emphasize Reconciliation, Not Resolution
