I'm still in the way, and I feel stuck here
One way that I get in the way when attempting to speak truth to others is through my becoming angry when the recipient of my "truth speaking" does not respond in repentance and faith. This post represents a huge time gap in my blogging. It does not reflect a gap in my interest in growth in grace so that I might become a useful instrument of truth speaking in the hands of the Redeemer. I am, however, struck by the fact that I do not seem to have made any significant progress in this growth process. I still at times and with certain people become angry when their response is unrepentant and unbelieving. To that I have nothing new to write today. I guess my previous post either doesn't work or I haven't implemented it. Oh God, help. I am still too often stuck in the fallacious rut of believing that I am responsible to effect change in others by speaking your truth to them. Please empower me by your Holy Spirit so that Christ might dwell in my heart by faith and so that I may be transformed by the renewing of my mind.
