Just me trying to be honest with God.

Sometimes the best way to respect someone isn’t to pander to their foolishness but to point it out.

Even when we correct someone for doing something unwise, we can do it with respect. If we don’t, we can pretty much count on the fact that our counsel will fall on deaf ears. What good is good counsel if it is not heeded? There is as much responsibility in how counsel is given as there is in how it is received. What we say and how we say it should always reflect our love and respect for others.
