Confrontation Shouldn't Have To Be Ugly. ALL THE TIME!








Inspiration


(From: The Inspirational Study Bible.
By: Max Lucado)


Most of the time, when we muster the courage to confront, we will not lose a friend. The few times I have risked confronting a beloved friend over serious sins in his or her life, far feom becoming enemies, we now have deeper trust and deeper respect for each other. And I think more, not ess, of the people who have loved me enough to painfully confront me. I know thes people really care, because they have invested value into my life.
As you read this book, you may be agaonizing over something that has gone wrong in your life. You desperately want it resolved, but yu cannot find the courage to say anything. Since no one but you knows, there is [no one] to confront you. Maybe the Holy Spirit is confrontting you this very moment, through me.


Or possibly you know something sinful in the life of a beloved brother or sister. You have known it for some time, but you felt it was none of your business, or you lacked courage, or you did not know what to do. Let these lines say to you: Before God, care enough to confront.




...When you need to confront someone, and you fear the risk; remember: The Holy Spirit can give you the wisdom to do t lovingly and the courages to care enough.
