Sometimes the truth hurts. Have you ever heard that before? I know I have. And, sometimes the truth has hurt. For sure. Especially when it\u2019s had me rethink how I have done things. Or when I found out the hard way that I was wrong. Either way, although I didn\u2019t like hearing it, it was good for me to be held accountable. It\u2019s good for us all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As we go through this life, we are going to make mistakes. Sometimes our best efforts still result in making mistakes. Success does not come easily all the time. Sometimes at all. I\u2019m a firm believer that we can learn from our mistakes. That we can learn from our \u201cfailures\u201d. That we can learn from being held accountable by those around us who love us. And if we do learn from them, we can become stronger. Sharper! Iron sharpens iron!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whenever a dull blade is sharpened, not only is it more sharp, it is shiny and beautiful. And whenever someone tries to sharpen us, it might hurt some, but we will also become more beautiful. We will shine. Like a transformation. We can be transformed for Christ. We can be more sharp for Christ. Therefore, we can better serve others for Christ. But that requires us to open our hearts to the accountability that others hold us to. And that will help us make our hearts pure. And that is awesome!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
