Conflict resolution can be extremely uncomfortable, to the extent that many of us will avoid it all costs. We might even let a conflict simmer just to avoid the uneasiness of confronting someone or confronting the issue itself. Perhaps one reminder can help us with this.
There is a verse that is often quoted out of context that applies to this subject. Jesus said, “For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them” (Matt. 18:20). This verse is often used (incorrectly) of a small worship gathering to prove that Jesus is there. It is true that Jesus is there (ex: Matt. 26:29; Heb. 2:11-12), but this verse is addressing the effort to reconcile a “fault” that exists between brethren (Matt. 18:15-20). When such is done as Scripture prescribes (i.e., “in My name”), Jesus Himself says, “I am there.”
Are you dealing with a conflict? Pray about it. Ask God for wisdom (Jas. 1:5). Ask God for a forgiving heart (Matt. 6:12-15). Ask God to go with you (Heb. 13:5-6). When you follow His plan, you will not be alone!
