Here are some incredible tips from Hart Ramsey:
1. The best way to end strife is to refuse to participate in it. Tit for tat is so juvenile. Let your response be a simple smile.
2. Practice speaking well of people who speak ill of you. It confuses talebearers. Say something complimentary & let them run & tell dat.
3. It takes at least two prideful people to keep a beef going. Glorify The Lord with your silence. Let Him respond for you.
4. Being a peace seeker doesn't make you any weaker. It takes strength to be the bigger person. And GOD will make it up to you.
5. Could it be that GOD allowed this situation so that you could prove your maturity? Suppose this is your passage to promotion.
6. Keeping your heart free from offense & hatred is more important that getting even or defending yourself. Peace is priceless.
7. In every conflict there's an opportunity for growth & an open door to learn more about Jesus. Don't miss it trying to get even.
8. Your heart is your most valuable asset. Protect it! When someone breaks it, give it to The Lord so He can repair & upgrade it.
9. Don't automatically believe it when you hear that someone spoke ill of you. Pray. Then approach them with questions, not accusations.
10. Don't let anyone pull you into a useless war of words or a meaningless conflict. Your life has purpose. You don't have time to fight.
