無法避免的衝突，需要學習智慧化解
Peace is not the absence of conflict, but the ability to cope with it. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
和平不是因為沒有衝突，而是有解決衝突的能力。
The secret to healthy conflict resolution isn’t taking a ‘you against me’ stance. The secret is realizing it’s ‘us against Satan.’ He’s the real enemy. ~ Lysa TerKeurst
健康化解衝突的秘訣不是採取“你我對抗”的姿態，而是意識到“你我共同對抗撒旦”的立場。牠才是真正的敵人。
Every conflict we face in life is rich with positive and negative potential. It can be a source of inspiration, enlightenment, learning, transformation, and growth-or rage, fear, shame, entrapment, and resistance. The choice is not up to our opponents, but to us, and our willingness to face and work through them. ～ Kenneth Cloke
生活中面臨的每一次衝突，都充滿著正面和負面的影響力。它可以是靈感、啟示、學習、轉化和成長的源泉——也可能帶來憤怒、恐懼、羞恥、陷阱和抗爭。選擇權不在於我們的對手，乃是取決於我們，以及我們面對和化解衝突的意願。
Conflict is inevitable but combat is optional. ～ Max Lucado
雖然衝突在所難免，但戰鬥是可以避免的。
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.
使人和睦的人有福了！因為他們必稱為神的兒子。（太5:9）
Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing …… They must turn from evil and do good; they must seek peace and pursue it.
不以惡報惡，以辱罵還辱罵，倒要祝福；因你們是為此蒙召，好叫你們承受福氣。…… 也要離惡行善，尋求和睦，一心追趕 。（彼前3:9,11）
Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.
倘若這人與那人有嫌隙，總要彼此包容，彼此饒恕；主怎樣饒恕了你們，你們也要怎樣饒恕人。（西3:13）
If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. 倘若這人與那人有嫌隙，總要彼此包容，彼此饒恕；主怎樣饒恕了你們，你們也要怎樣饒恕人。（西3:13）
