I INTENSELY DISLIKE CONFLICT.
That being said, I seem to get into more than my share of it. Part of that stems from standing up for what I know to be Truth. At one point in my life I had to decide whether to seek man's approval or God's and I chose the latter. People's approval is often erratic and illogical. I will not stand before man as my eternal judge, but I will stand before God. His opinion matters. It has eternal consequences!
What a tight wire we live on! Seeking to be gentle, while standing up for what the Bible clearly teaches. I frequently don't like the 'hills' that are chosen for me to engage on - - but if not now, when; if not me, whom?
Lord, grant me grace and wisdom....
