A Kingdom Way to Handle Conflict
General
Devotions with Kathyrn Week 4
May 27th, 2026
THE MESSAGE
Conflict is inevitable—but how we respond reveals our hearts.
The world teaches us to avoid, defend, or win. But Jesus calls us to something different: restoration.
THE TEACHINGS
Go Directly
Matthew 18:15
Have the conversation. Don’t avoid or talk around it.
Keep It Personal
Handle conflict privately first. Protect dignity.
Seek Restoration, Not Victory
You are not winning an argument—you are restoring a relationship.
Invite Wisdom Carefully
Bring others in for clarity—not to take sides.
Guard Your Heart with Forgiveness
Forgiveness releases what you were never meant to carry.
THE TAKEAWAY
Ask yourself:
Do I want to be right—or restored?
Choose humility.
Choose forgiveness.
Choose reconciliation.
The Kingdom way prioritizes restoration over being right.
PRAYER
Lord, give me a heart that seeks restoration. Help me walk in humility, forgiveness, and truth in every relationship. Amen.
