Reminding others... who they are... before God... and each other...
Today... two opportunities to stand firm...
one with words in a note...
one with words face to face...
all before 9 am...!
Both done prayerfully...
Both done to dislodge the enemy's lies from the hearts of loved ones...
In both cases... temptation arose to avoid speaking truth... but that would only feed the lie... stoke the fire of rebellion...
To speak the truth in love... strangles the lie... reveals its destructive nature... to relationships with God and others...
Praise God... for His love... and truth... that redeems... restores... and renews...
Praise God... for providing strength... and boldness... to speak... in faith...
God wants us to grow up,
to know the whole truth and tell it in love ---
like Christ in everything. We take our lead from Christ,
who is the source of everything we do.
He keeps us in step with each other.
His very breath and blood flow through us,
nourishing us so that we will grow up
healthy in God, robust in love.
Ephesians 4:15-16 Msg
Speaking truth... in love... helps others grow... helps us grow... and weakens the hold of the enemy...
Lord... thank You for this battle today... what it has revealed... taught... and dislodged... Water the truth that has been planted today... Grow it to fullness... in the hearts of those I love...
