Good evening all . Today has been another Blessed Gift to us. Special Thanks to Alex Gorman for the beautiful picture of the Sky today . Today’s Word of the Day is Anger. What does Anger mean to you ? Is it possible to have good Anger? Is Anger all negative?
Tonight as I sat on the deck and began writing Confrontation hit me , which is funny because it is an area I have been considering working on but avoiding.
““If another believer sins against you, go privately and point out the offense. If the other person listens and confesses it, you have won that person back.”
Matthew 18:15 NLT
Confrontation , wow there is one a lot of us will do just about anything to avoid. Sometimes we will compromise against our morals and ethics to avoid a confrontation. Why ? Well most would probably agree because we do not want to hurt someone. The thought of hurting someone is enough to make us back right down. However, is backing down and compromising yourself the answer? If we do not confront what is in front of us at time will go away on it’s own? Will it continue to be a concern to the point of now you have to confront it with one or more of you fully involved in your emotions? What happens in an argument and/or disagreement when emotions are involved?
Caring= +
Confrontation= –
I discovered this word today and wanted to share :
Care- Fronting
Put together the two form Love and Trust.
Care and Confront at the same time be upfront with facts while providing uplifting Caring support.
When Care-Fronting
Provide the Honest Truth of the situation while considering their and your goals of the conversation.
Call it out with facts that will provide new awareness, insight and understanding of the situation.
How? Maximum useful information with minimal stress and threat to the other party. Again how? Come from a place of Love. Be Love. Do we see a reoccurring theme here, one would think maybe that is what we are created to do. If we choose not to confront and turn a blind eye there will come a time that whatever needed to be confronted has now blown up and at your doorstep. Who do you consider having a Care-Fronting conversation today. Love ya all, have a beautiful evening.
