For the last few weeks, my Pastor has been preaching from the series “Say What You Need To Say”. It has been such an insightful and convicting sermon series. In a recent message “Speak the Truth in Love”, we are each challenged to dig deeper into what we say, how we say it, and why we say it. We have been reminded that our communications are directly related to our relationship with God. When we communicate scathing, thoughtless, and hurtful ideas and feelings without any regard to the big picture, the implications of the words, or our responsibility in the matter, we are actually conveying the level of our spiritual maturity!! A spiritually mature person is able to process, reinterpret, and package their ideas, emotions, and feelings, BEFORE expressing them. This is because a spiritually mature person does not disconnect their communications with others from their communication with God. Isn’t it unfortunate how we think we’re spiritually mature because we read our Bibles and go to church every Sunday? But we discover that our everyday lives are raggedy and we’re not as spiritually mature as we thought? I challenge you to process, reinterpret, and package your ideas, emotions, and feelings BEFORE expressing them. I challenge you to grow up a little bit more today!
