Five Keys That Open a Closed Spirit - March 4

 Resolving Conflict and Dealing with Anger...

 
There are five keys or attitudes that open a closed spirit:  
 
-Become gentle; demonstrate tenderheartedness.  
-Understand what the other person has gone through, listening
 carefully not only to what is said, but also to how it is
 said.  What has caused the anger?
-Acknowledge that the person is hurting, and admit when you have
 been offensive.
-Touch the other person gently.
-Ask for forgiveness.
