PLEASING GOD BY SPEAKING THE TRUTH IN LOVE

Ephesians 4:15,25 New King James Version
15 but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ—
25 Therefore, putting away lying, “Let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor,” for we are members of one another.

GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA EVERYONE!!!
I know this is gonna seem trite, cliche my and redundant, but I really needed this morning scripture. I always am very grateful for everything God shows me from His Word, but today I really needed it, because I have a tendency to want to please people over God, and one of the ways I do this is I'm too scared to speak the truth. I'm learning every day what it means to speak the truth, but most of all to speak it in love, and I will state right now I could really use prayer on that.

This question in particular from this morning's devotional, really got me to thinking about that issue, and I'd like to share that question with you tonight. I invite you to read this question very carefully, and I pray that it will help you to really think about what it means to please God and not others.

Who do you serve to please?

In other words, guys, who were you trying to impress? Are you trying to please God, or are you trying to please the world around you? Tonight, my friends, I'd like to share some things that God showed me from His Word on this very serious issue, through this vlog I'd like to share with all of you tonight, and I pray that what I share with you, both challenges and motivates you to want to please God through speaking the truth but doing so in love. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends and learn what it means to please God through speaking the truth in love! 😊

So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I want to leave you with this final question from this morning's devotional, and I pray that it helps you to look to the Lord To direct not just your words but your actions too.

How might God’s higher presence direct your words?

I want to challenge you all tonight, to seek God not just in your decision making, but also in the words that you say. Ask God to help you speak His truth in love, and not out of anything else. Remember my friends, you can't pound, demean, gaslight, manipulate, or force someone to hear the truth, because that's totally out of God's design. We want to speak, and live the truth of God's word out to others, so that they see Christ Jesus in us. I pray that you not only ask God's help in controlling your tongue, but that you ask God to guide you by His Holy Spirit, in everything that you say and do, so that you show civility, wisdom, and love to them. After all guys, our goal is to please God.

UNTIL TUESDAY:

HAVE A BLESSED AND PEACEFUL EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!
