The secret to healthy conflict resolution isn't taking a 'you against me' stance. The secret is realizing it's 'us against Satan.' He's the real enemy.

More quotes by Lysa TerKeurst
On the other end of the spectrum, we can't use this permission to sometimes say no and use it as a wand to wish away all our responsibilities. We also must remember not to use our no answers as a weapon. We can't turn into No! ninjas, karate-chopping anyone who even comes close to asking us for something.
Lysa TerKeurst
One drop of the Lord's mercy is better than an ocean of the world's comfort.
Lysa TerKeurst
Raw emotions - anger, frustration, bitterness, resentment - are the feelings we tend to hide from people we want to impress but spew on those we love the most.
Lysa TerKeurst
I must exchange whispers with God before shouts with the world.
Lysa TerKeurst
When to give grace? I'd rather stand before God knowing I loved others too much rather than regretting that I judged too harshly.
Lysa TerKeurst
Remember, conflict doesn’t always mean we have to fight against something and tear it apart.... Conflict can also mean we’re fighting for something to make it even better and stronger than it’s ever been.
Lysa TerKeurst
Spending some time getting quiet can really be the best remedy for tangled situations. Taking a step back from all the emotion, frustration, and exhaustion to sit quietly with Jesus will do more to untangle a mess than anything else I've ever found.
Lysa TerKeurst
Too many people think that finding the reason God placed us here on earth will come in one assignment with a big title and complete job description. I believe that discovering our purpose will unfold slowly, like a seed planted deep in the ground.
Lysa TerKeurst
Which do I care more about - demanding my rights or displaying right choices?
Lysa TerKeurst
At the end of the day, honoring God leads to good things. Anything else leads to confusion, emotional exhaustion and a lack of good things.
Lysa TerKeurst
No person, possession, profession, or position ever fills the cup of a wounded, empty heart. It's an emptiness only God can fill.
Lysa TerKeurst
We live in a broken world full of broken people. But isn’t it comforting to know God isn’t ever broken? He isn’t ever caught off guard, taken by surprise, or shocked by what happens next.
Lysa TerKeurst
I give grace because I so desperately need it.
Lysa TerKeurst
Tonight, no matter what you're going through... backtrack and remember all the places where God has been so faithful before in your life. And know. Know with assurance. And boldness. And confidence. He is the same faithful God.
Lysa TerKeurst
God does not want to make us comfortable as much as He wants to make us comfort-able - to take the comfort that we receive and share it with others.
Lysa TerKeurst
I'm an encourager at heart. I love to give words of encouragement and I love to receive words of encouragement. That's probably why words of discouragement affect me so deeply.
Lysa TerKeurst
Where there is a lack of rest, there is an abundance of stress.
Lysa TerKeurst
We were made for more than compromise. We were made for God's promises in every area of our lives.
Lysa TerKeurst
Chase God's heart today. Christianity has got to be more than a label, a lingo, and a lifestyle.
Lysa TerKeurst
How I wish we could all see the cost of our choices as clearly as a price tag on items in a store. If I know how much something is going to cost me, I make much wiser choices. But we have an enemy who schemes against us to keep the cost of dumb decisions concealed until it's too late.
