Care Enough to Confront!!!

Aug 24, 2014 Features / Columnists, Food For Thought

‘Warn… those who are out of line… encourage the timid… help… the weak.’ Sadly, we’d rather stay quiet and be popular than speak difficult truth into the lives of others. A church/mosque/mandir isn’t just a group of individuals who happen to meet in the same place every week; it’s a spiritual body… a loving family. It’s far easier to comfort and encourage than to warn or exhort, but both are necessary. We should speak the truth in love so that the whole body may grow up in all things. If we don’t take the time to exhort, encourage, warn, comfort, uphold and be patient… we [all] suffer in the end. Your body doesn’t function properly when one part is hurting or performing poorly. And an organization suffers when one of its members is unruly, fainthearted, weak, or falls into bad doctrine. Letting a body part fester, or not supporting a part that’s hurt, can lead to irrecoverable damage… letting serious issues go unaddressed does a grave disservice to the member in question. As parents we love our children too much to let bad behaviour go unchecked. Down the road we know it will negatively affect their attitude toward authority, relationships, accountability and personal discipline. We care enough to correct and guide them. If a person gets trapped by wrongdoing, those of you who are spiritual should help that person turn away from doing wrong. Do it in a gentle way. At the same time watch yourself so that you also are not tempted. The truth is the only safe ground to stand upon, and your goal should be to speak it in love. Prayer for TodayAlmighty Creator please empower me with boldness and wisdom so that I may be able to confront and make a positive change in the lives of others today.Use me as an instrument of alteration to warn, those who are out of line, encourage the timid and help the weak.
