Isn’t interesting how people’s impression of me changes when I prove that action is really louder than words. So many decades of writing what’s in my heart has made me not care too much to justify what God already knows!
So many decades of writing what is in my heart continues to encourage me to speak the truth with love…
I am the first one to admit that the side effect of my domesticated tone needs a lot of improvement and it is not for lack of wanting to speak composed and poised. The truth of the matter is I just rather have my feelings and expression very congruent and God fully understands at all times!
Many people’s genuine care and understanding sprout, bloom, grow and some continue to develop understanding even though it is after they walk in another person’s moccasins. This is the best barometer that indicates how genuine someone is- they speak the truth without omission or act contrary to the truth.
It is not easy, Solomon himself proclaimed in Proverbs 10: “someone who holds back the truth causes trouble, but the one who openly criticizes works for peace.” He also states in Proverbs 16: 23 that insincere talk that hides what you are really thinking is like a fine glazed on a cheap pot. These are words to live by as I continue to own my truth and take charge of my accountability and speak the truth with love, justice and equal rights as my motives.
Sadly, yet very true, is the proverb which Solomon acclaims in Proverbs 20:30: “Sometimes it takes a painful experience to make us change our ways.’ And I add... to make people submit to the one true God.
Since I know how dangerous it is to be concerned with what others think of me instead of trusting God I better spend the rest of my life with God giving God first place in my life… after all that is what God ask of me; then trust all things to work favourably. The things in and of themselves were the very things that I almost use as excuse to call God a liar only to find that it was my pants that were almost on fire!
