speaking truth with love and kindness

We all encounter difficult situations in our lives but we can handle every situation with integrity and being positive in what we say and do. Even if we’re right in a situation and the other person is wrong, we can still handle things in a peaceful way to resolve issues.

Sometimes people do things to try to push our buttons but we should never try to resolve anything in a negative way or when we’re angry.  Sometimes it’s better to wait to discuss things when it’s calm.  Nothing gets resolve in anger because when we’re angry anything can come out of our mouth and you have to remember that it’s always two or three sides to a story.

I had an experience today where someone did something out of character but I had to calm down and wait to speak my peace.  I responded by asking what happened and why.  Everyone should be given a chance to speak about things that involves them before we jump to conclusions.  I had mentioned before that we’re here to love our neighbor as we love ourselves.  If we don’t give people a chance, how is that acting out of love?  In difficult situations, we need to put ourselves in the other person shoes because if someone just said you did something without you explaining yourself, you wouldn’t like it.

The wisdom in all of this is to always speak the truth with love and kindness because in the end, we all make mistakes and can learn from one another. So when you encounter complicated situations in your life, think before you act and try to handle issues with a positive resolution not anything negative.  You will feel good about your actions and actually represent Jesus in a positive way.

Amen and Thank You Jesus
