So when a difficult situation comes, I hate it. Naturally I run from conflict. I don't really like any of it. Thinking of how you are going to handle everything, what are you going to say, how will it end? All of this drives me crazy. I can't really let go of it when I go home, it stays on my mind. So it can be really difficult.
However,
Some of the times in my life when I have seen the most growth has been during times of conflict and confrontation. I have someone in my life that almost weekly says, "A leader always does what is right." Sometimes that involves face to face conversations where emotions are high. When I do what I don't want to do and stand up for what I believe is right, God has always grown me. I know that every time I have to have a difficult conversation, or confront someone about something that is wrong, God strengthens and builds me into the man and leader that I need to become.
Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
James 1:2-4
