Ephesians 4:15 King James Version
15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:

GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA MY FRIENDS!!!
What does it mean to speak the truth in love? Interesting question isn't it. I thought about that very deeply as I was reading this morning's passage of scripture, and I'll be honest I'm still learning what it means to do so. I'm especially learning it through the questions that we're in this morning's devotional today, and I'd like to share those questions with you tonight. I invite you to read these questions very carefully, and I pray that God will challenge your heart through them, and help you see what this question means.

When has someone gently confronted you?

What do you think is most important when you lovingly address a weakness you see in others?
Right now, my friends, I'd like to share some things that God showed me from His Word on this issue, through this vlog I'd like to share with all of you tonight, and I pray that it will not only challenge you to think about what it means to speak the truth and love, but also how to humbly accept and receive correction. come join me in this blog and learn what it means to not only humbly accept correction, but also to offer it with Christ like love, grace, gentleness, humility, and making sure you have all the facts! 😊

My prayer for all of you, as I close this post for tonight, is that you not only think about these questions from this morning's devotional, but think about how vital that correction was in your life, and be grateful and thankful for someone who genuinely cared enough to give you that correction in a Christ like fashion. I pray that you ask God every day to help you receive the GENUINE correction that He offers you, through fellow believers, in humility and gratitude. I also pray that both you and other fellow believers offer this correction according to Galatians 6:1-2, as well as Matthew 18:15-18, in a spirit of love, grace, gentleness, and humility, but above all, making sure that you have all the facts before you confront someone. Make sure that you examine your motives and how you confront them, so that you're not going on an “sin hunt” and that you are not trying to gaslight, pound, or manipulate them into your version of repentance. Again I urge you before you go to someone to confront them, examine your heart, and make sure you have all the facts! That's how you can truly and lovingly confront sin.

UNTIL SUNDAY EVERYONE:

HAVE A SERENE, SWEET, AND PEACEFUL EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!
