Can we talk?

Prov. 18:4 (MSG) Many words rush along like rivers in flood, but deep wisdom flows up from artesian springs.
‘How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of the weak and the strong. Because someday in life you will have been all of these.’ – George Washington

Can we talk, or Can I ask you a question? Are questions we all have been asked, or asked someone? What if, we, begin with our Christian brothers and sisters, to asked one these questions, or something similar – Have you sought or prayed to God about this so that we both are enriched and blessed by this discussion? See, these types of questions usually take the people involved into uncharted territories that make both parties uncomfortable. However, if we, as Christian, would seek God’s direction and guidance before plunging into these deep still waters, we would not readily go there, and improve our navigation. Why? Lets face it, most of the times we asked these questions, we are being a ‘busybody.’ Now imagine how our life would change, we stop the ‘busybody act,’, the nosy neighbor, and self-righteous condemning tones…I suggest to you there would be less hurt feelings, distant created, animosity developed, greater peace of mind achieved, authentic relationships found, less unproductive activities, spreading of love is no longer talked about but also lived…all because we are convinced the verse and the quote above has implications and applications that are expansive reach. We then would be on our way to ‘being’ the church, not just adherence to biblical standards, or exchange theological allegories, no one embrace or embody. No more wariness of –will I offend him/her with this question or statement because God has prepared the way, regardless of the outcome. I am not suggesting there would be no ‘iron sharpening iron’. Only that it would be less bad-temperedness, and disagreeable disposition stance running rampage and resonating in our churches. And if we start at home, with Christian, then it would become mode of operations for all our interactions with everyone. Yes, my friends it would take some time getting use to, but it would also open our fellow Christians up, encourage us to lived in open, and not in denial because we understand I am not being ‘judged’, I am being lovingly assisted and guided out of darkness, hurt, and secret sins…Can we talk?
