Be Happy: Resolve Personal Conflicts
Fred Lowery
Philippians 4:2-5
So you got a little upset this past week? About something that seemed rather small but yet you got upset and became unhappy. Was it because of your car? Was it because the garage door that wouldn't operate properly? Was it you rhouse, the building? that caused you so much unhappiness? Was it your neighbor's house? Was it the building where you work? No. When you really think about it, it was your boss, your employees, your wife, your husband, your children, your neighbor. It. was people. That caused you unhappiness.
And that is how it always is. You see we get upset over little things that really don't matter and things like buildings, and doors and machines that go wrong - the computer - and all those kinds of things that drive us buggy at times but the things that keeps us awake at night, the thing that breaks our heart, the thing that keeps us from enjoying a level or measure of happiness is relationships. People. People problems. You see people make life pitiful or precious. And we've had some of both. I believe it was Charlie Brown who said I love the world, it's the people I can't stand. Alot of truth and philosophy in that.
If you're married, or have children, if you go to work, or you go to school, if you fit in any of those categories, you have relationship conflicts. Now you may not admit it, in fact, if I asked you to stand if you've had a conflict this week, with your husband or wife or children, I couldn't get many of you to stand. And yet most of us have had some kind of conflict. I know at our house we had conflicts from time to time. Leigh was telling me just a minute ago that they had some conflicts after I left this morning. I'd always rather it be that way but Sunday is the very worst time - because if the devil is going to get in - it's Sunday morning. But it is amazing how you, I mean, everything just comes loose on Sunday morning. The kids are terrible, nothing ...
