What is true for them

I am no stranger to conflict.

I read something the other day that discussed conflict. And it said that often times in conflict, we are so focused on ourselves and the point we are trying to make...

Rather than engaging what is true for the other person.

Now I wish I could say I always engage what is true for the other person all the time.

Yet I miss it at times.

My commitment is that, in the midst of conflict or any other conversation, I would engage what is true for the other person.

And when I miss it, when I get overly focused on what I think and the point I want to make, I will ask forgiveness and recommit to that person to engage and be curious about what is true for them.
