timeliness

Timeliness.  Sometimes being timely is more important that being true or right.  Sometimes people cannot take the truth.  They are not ready for it.  We in our arrogance want to lay the truth on someone.  We want to give it to them straight.  What if they are not ready for it?  What if they can only digest the truth a little bit at a time?  Is it really right to crush them with something that they cannot yet bear?

Jesus said, “I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear."  John 16:12  Jesus knew that folks can only take the truth a little bit at a time.  How much truth are you able to bear?  How open are you to invite Jesus to change your thinking?  How open am I?

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
