James 3:17
But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. 18Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness.
I was caught off guard in a fiery discussions which I thought was extremely ridiculous, unreasonable and inconceivable. Letting my head rules instead of my heart, I spoke out an unanimous truth from all directly and the situation turned worst. It's not about me.
No one dares to speak the truth because truth can really hurts. Worst when it will bring anger and leads to murder. Who would dare speaks unless one really loves? Also, it may not even be received with grace and thankfulness!
In not speaking the truth, it will also hurts. Fear becomes the ruling spirit.
Speaking the truth without being considerate and bear no good fruit, not wise at all.
In the end, I was foolish. Hoping truth will at last prevail.
Of course I was wrong and I should have guessed it and shut my mouth. But I still have a fickle of hope that one can SEE. But I was to be disappointed.
My hope? Prayer.
Quoting from Soul Feast by M.J. Thompson, p40
Our confidence in the power of prayer is rooted in the promises that God is continually working for good in the midst of ambiguous situations and that God's purposes will prevail in the end. The divine word does not return to God empty (Isaiah 55:11). Love is the only power capable of enduring all things. It remains immovable after all else has fallen away. Therefore we can ask for eyes to see where God is already at work and a spirit ready to cooperate with God's activity in any given circumstance. The more fully we entrust ourselves to God, the more freely God's loving purpose can be worked out.
Father in Heaven, let the truth be revealed and your purpose will prevail in the end. Else I will feel really really sad and disappointed for a long time. I entrust everyone fully to You for your loving purposes to be worked out. In Jesus' Name, Amen!
