Honesty grows where grace lives.

Most people don’t hide because they’re rebellious. They hide because they’re afraid.

Afraid of what people will think. Afraid of being reduced to their worst moment. Afraid that if the whole truth comes out, judgment will be waiting on the other side.

But grace changes the atmosphere.

Grace doesn’t minimize failure. It simply creates the safety necessary for honesty. When people know they won’t be condemned, they’re far more likely to come out from behind the masks, drop the defenses, and tell the truth.

The truth is, transformation rarely begins with pressure. It begins with safety.

Psalm 27:14 ESV
[14] Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!

We always say the Lord is never late He's always right on time as the old Rez Band song tells us.

If we truly believe that, then we should not become impatient. We should do as the Psalmist says: wait for the Lord. Let your heart take courage. Just as He told Joshua, be strong and courageous. If the Lord will fight for you then He sure is going to provide, protect, and comfort you. Be still and know. Be still and know that the Lord will always be there when you call. He will always be there to pull you out of the rising waters when you start to sink. Wait on the Lord. The Lord is never late, He always arrives precisely when He means to.

Good morning

1 Corinthians 13:4 (ESV) - Love is patient and kind; love does | YouVersion Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant
