Not Necessary

It’s not necessary to tell a starving man he is hungry.  It’s not necessary to tell a dehydrated man he is thirsty. So why must we tell people of their faults, mistakes, issues, and sins?

People know when they are doing wrong and the wrong they have done in their life.  We all know the mistakes we have made, the sins in our life and the issues we face everyday.  Having people throw that in our face is not going to help.  Judging and condemning is not going to help.  On the other hand, offering encouragement, hope, forgiveness, a shoulder to lean on can make a difference.  Understanding where someone is, is not condoning what they are doing or agreeing with what they are doing.  Offer people a peace of mind not a piece of your mind.  We all have those areas that we need help in.  Be an encourager today. Don’t tell them all the wrong stuff in their life, give them hope and build on the right stuff.  Make a positive difference today!
