When we’ve been hurt by someone, our first instinct is often to get mad. We want to yell or prove we’re right to anyone who will listen. But the reality is, this doesn’t actually do anything to help the problem. In fact, the more we talk about the conflict or anger with others, the worse the issue becomes. Jesus leads us to handle our anger, frustrations, or conflicts with others in a different way. He asks us to talk to the person we’re struggling with directly. While that won’t always be easy, it is a step in the right direction to manage your emotions and handle conflict in a healthy way. Is there someone you’re frustrated with? Make an effort to go to them and talk it out this week.
