Bible Note: Brother I hear what you are saying but not only are we to be "wise as serpents", we are to be "GENTLE as doves" most importantly. I urge you to be gentle in your speech, your intent may not be to offend but, from experience, intentions don't matter to the observer. I could for example say" I like you" to a girl and she might take that to mean I love her when my intent was simply stating friendship. Make your mode of speech, words used, and intent a unified communication. It makes a big difference when you are trying to witness to someone especially. And you are right Jesus does love you but you cant simply state that and not listen to correction. My parents love me but that certainly didn't spare me correction as a young child(ouch). I love ya bro God bless Child'88 |
