When you’re broken down you want to see a recovery truck.
When you’re broken down physically you want to see a doctor and a hospital.
When you’re broken down spiritually or emotionally, you want a compassionate person who looks like they have something of their life in good order.
It’s easy to only want to speak out, and to hear, nice and positive things. We all like that, and we all need that.
However, as Christians, in our journey to becoming more like Jesus Christ, it can’t all be positivity and things that make us feel warm inside. Because we are all sinners who have fallen short of the glory of God, because of the sin in our life. And dealing with sin can be painful as we accept things that are true, and seek to repent and then reconcile ourselves with God.
Do we have the right to speak into the life of someone else?
We can’t just go around trying to correct what we see as mistakes in others. But, within the church family, we do need to be speaking truth – both positive, and not so positive. And we need to ensure we are open to our church family holding us to account too.
Just a thought…
