Written in real time during the sermon of Rev. Bob Ramsey, from the relationship series at Living Spring Fellowship Church.
Conflict is addressed in multiple ways.
its not to be Aggressive or passive in approach,
That we might start off wagging our tongues
only to silence them with soap.
Do nothing out of selfish ambition
but rather value others above your need…
your need to be right, rather humble yourself
and be careful of the thoughts that you feed.
Feed yourself instead with truth that speaks
to forgive & rejoice always.
For resolution comes when we give thanks unto God
every second of all our days.
Difficulties come, every day
& with every hard thing that may arise.
Find joy in the growth, that stems from
the burden you that you first despised.
Let your gentleness be evident
Playing the victim doesn’t work either
So if your choices are be passive or aggressive
I beg of you brethren be neither.
Pilot your life knowing the Lord
don’t put emphasis on being right.
Do not be anxious, but bring every request
to your Lord whose love sheds a light.
A light on the issue, a light on your fears
Light brings peace when we’re vulnerable and scared.
And reveals that if we put into practice these principles
then in these situations we’ll be prepared.
Whatever is true, noble, right,
admirable and pure.
When you find yourself in a difficult situation
stand upon what you know is sure.
Philippians 2:3-4, 4
“If anything is excellent or praiseworthy, think on these things.” – Phil 4:8
