“若是能行,总要尽力与众人和睦。” – 罗 12:18
冲突是生活中不可避免的一部份,但作为基督的跟随者,我们被呼召要追求和平与和解。在冲突中,我们有机会彰显神的爱,为破碎的关系带来医治。
面对冲突,我们首先要审视自己的内心,寻求谦卑的态度。我们要努力理解他人的观点,并回以善意、同情和宽恕。我们的目标不是赢得争论,而是搭建桥梁,恢复关系。
想要和好,就需要有耐心、恩典和倾听的意愿。我们邀请神在我们里面藉着我们作工,使我们能够给予宽恕、寻求和解。当我们降服于主的引导时,祂必赋予我们力量,使我们带着爱和智慧做出回应。
在处理冲突时,我们依靠圣灵引导我们的言行。我们祈求力量,放下骄傲,给予宽恕,追求和平。通过努力地缔造和平,我们就能反映出基督的性情,成为祂在这个破碎世界中成就和平的媒介。
祷告
和平之子,求你帮助我们在冲突中寻求你的智慧。愿我们活出爱、仁慈和宽恕。赐予我们和解的谦卑,以及追求和平的力量。主啊,求你赐下医治和修复。阿们。
罗马书 12:17-19
17不要以恶报恶。众人以为美的事,要留心去做。
18若是能行,总要尽力与众人和睦。
19亲爱的弟兄,不要自己申冤,宁可让步,听凭主怒;因为经上记着:“主说:申冤在我,我必报应。”
Dealing With Conflict
“If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.” – Romans 12:18
Conflict is an inevitable part of life, but as followers of Christ we are called to pursue peace and reconciliation. In the midst of conflict we have the opportunity to demonstrate God’s love and bring healing to broken relationships.
When facing conflict, we begin by examining our own hearts and seeking humility. We strive to understand the perspectives of others and to respond with kindness, empathy, and forgiveness. Our goal is not to win arguments but to build bridges and restore relationships.
The process of reconciliation requires patience, grace, and a willingness to listen. We invite God to work in us and through us, enabling us to extend forgiveness and to seek restoration. As we yield to the Lord’s guidance, he empowers us to respond with love and wisdom.
In dealing with conflict, we rely on the Holy Spirit to guide our words and actions. We pray for the strength to lay down our pride, extend forgiveness, and pursue peace. Through our peacemaking efforts, we reflect the character of Christ and become agents of his reconciliation in a broken world.
Prayer
Prince of Peace, in situations of conflict, help us to seek your wisdom. May we respond with love, kindness, and forgiveness. Grant us humility for reconciliation, and give us the strength to pursue peace. Bring healing and restoration, Lord. Amen.
