Matthew 18:15a. Something Wrong 17 Jul 2023
Mat 18:15a 'If your brother does something wrong, go and have it out with him alone, between your two selves.
Excerpt from THE NEW JERUSALEM BIBLE, copyright (c) 1985 by Darton, Longman & Todd, Ltd. and Doubleday, a division of Penguin Random House, Inc. Reprinted by Permission.
Speaking honestly, I find myself making no progress in 'building community,' the very thing I believe God calls me to do. One of the areas where I may fail, is to explain to my brothers and sisters, where I am hurt by them or where I am disappointed with them.
How can they know what I feel inside, when I do not inform them politely. I have to speak out, politely, with respect.
I should not fall back in gossiping.
Prayer
Jesus, guide me in revealing my pain to the brothers and sisters involved.
