SUMMARY
The Bible exhorts us as believers to always speak the truth in love such that our words could bring healing, restoration, and edification to one another and to the body of Christ. In human relationship, conflicts are unavoidable, and just because there is conflict doesn’t mean relationships have to end. However, these conflicts are not be ignored but to be resolved as soon as they evolve. It’s not immaturity to acknowledge a conflict in a relationship, neither is it a sign of weakness to initiate a process of peaceful reconciliation. Do not allow arrogance and pride to deprive you of a harmonious relationship in your family, church, and community, or at work. When your relationship is threatened by conflict, don’t pretend it never exist. You’ve got to nip it in the bud.
