Therefore each of you must put off falsehood
and speak truthfully to your neighbor,
for we are all members of one body.

Ephesians 4:25 (NIV)

There is this niggling in my spirit, Jesus, that has me quite bewildered. My life feels strangely compartmentalized. I find myself ostracized for speaking freely about my various concerns. And I find myself tiptoeing these days. I see so many topics that need to be acknowledged and addressed—and yet I am silenced.

Thank You, Jesus, that I never have to walk on eggshells with You. And please help me to find a way to speak the truth in love with my fellow sojourners…

Questions for Pondering…

Why are there suddenly so many topics that seem taboo now?
How can I stop the tiptoeing and begin to speak the truth in love?
