Reconciling Family Conflict

Conflict is unavoidable—even among those who teach peace.
Paul, an expert in reconciliation, openly admits his own struggles and missteps in family conflicts, showing that no one is immune to relational breakdowns.

Forgiveness starts with love and humility.
When Paul’s daughter drew on the caravan, he chose connection over punishment—an act rooted in love and inspired by how God deals with us.

Owning your faults opens the door to healing.
Paul recalls an argument with his wife where pride led to a blow-up—yet it was honest confession, not justification, that brought true reconciliation.

God’s forgiveness empowers human reconciliation.
Remembering that we’re already forgiven by God gives us courage to apologise, restore trust, and rebuild relationships with others.

Forgiveness restores more than just the offence.
Whether with his daughter or wife, Paul witnessed how forgiveness didn’t just end the conflict—it rebuilt trust, strengthened love, and brought joy.

Daily reminders of God’s grace keep relationships strong.
Paul encourages couples to speak forgiveness over each other regularly—not just after mistakes, but as a constant affirmation of God’s love and theirs.
