I was reading one of my favorite little books this romantically-overcast noon: Amy Carmichael's "If". - I was struck by a specific point she made that challenges me as I grow and advance God's kingdom by speaking the Truth > God's Word > The Double-edged Sword.
Here 'tis:
" If I am afraid to speak the truth, lest I
lose affection,
or lest the one concerned should
say, 'You do not understand,'
or because I fear to lose my
reputation for kindness;
if I put my own good name before
the other's highest good,
then I know nothing of Calvary love."
"Well... That's all I have to say about that."
