There isn’t
any part of my time that I would like to be more effective in, but continuously
throughout the day. I strive to be a light during the day as in encouraging and
loving. I try really heart to let the joy I have in my heart overflow into
others. This is good, but I would like to speak more truth. I’m a people
pleaser and a push over so I never want to hurt anyone’s feelings. When there
is something going on or something said that I don’t agree with I don’t speak
up as much as I should. I also don’t share what God is doing in my life enough,
and I hardly ever ask anyone what God is doing in their life because I’m afraid
of the answer. How am I trying to fix this? I’ve been praying for God to give
me courage to be audacious, and to keep this on my mind all throughout the day
since I often forget. I’ve also been trying to keep my eyes open to
opportunities to do so.
“It has well been
said that truth without love is brutality, but love without truth is hypocrisy.
Little children do not know how to blend truth and love. They think that if you
love someone, you must shield him from the truth if knowing the truth will hurt
him. It is a mark of maturity when we are able to share the truth with our
fellow Christians, and do it in love. “Faithful are the wounds of a friend, but
the kisses of an enemy are deceitful” (Prov. 27:6)”. – Warren W. Wiersbe (The
Bible Exposition Commentary)
