The objective for desiring change can be to resolve
conflicts created by unyielding points of view. Becoming comfortable with
conflict seems improbable, but still it exists in relationships. A deterrent to
change that often becomes a dead-end for relationships is growing contented with
conflict. Yet most people long for a loving, fulfilling marriage and friendship.
Everyone experiences
ambivalent, contrasting feelings which are simultaneously accompanied by contrasting
thoughts. Someone might argue convincingly for an issue, then feel anxious about
their argument. When conflict arises, anxiety can be a deterrent to resolution
and change.
God’s
word is clear about living in peace with everyone in as much as it is possible.
Inner peace should be each believer’s objective, as God’s word indicates. “God
will keep in perfect peace all those who trust in him, whose thoughts are fixed
on him. Trust in the Lord God always for he is your strength.” This is the
perfect means for change.
