I have ultimately kept my mouth shut because I was afraid of saying the wrong thing. I was afraid of not speaking in love and letting my emotions get the best of me. I didn’t want to be the talking point of someone else’s passive aggressive post. So instead of saying the WRONG thing, I chose to not say anything at all!
FEAR IS NOT A COMMAND. Nor is it mandated! In fact, I am 100% positive that the phrase is: FEAR NOT. Yep, that’s the one.
Now, does that mean I just let my mouth run willy-nilly and lead with emotions? Absolutely not. I pray to always lead with love in my words and actions.
We have become a society that is both easily offended and afraid of offending. But when we can honestly come from a TRUE place of love...the love that never fails...never gives up...we may still mess up but we won’t truly fail.
But the thing is, love doesn’t mean laying down and taking whatever someone throws at you. Love is a FORCE.
And because of that love, the love that He has for YOU, I HAVE to stand and love with force. Because our lives, our children’s lives, depend on it!
Today I am talking about what IS mandated, how we handle it, what the world is becoming and so, so much more.
