The Truth Isn’t Negative, Ignoring It Is

People love to say, “You’re always pointing out the negative.” As if acknowledging something wrong means you’re doing something wrong.

The truth is refusing to talk about a thing doesn’t make it disappear.

It just lets it sit, it’s unbothered, it’s unchallenged and growing mold.

Then, when it festers and spills over into something uncontrollable, everyone wants to act shocked, like it came out of nowhere. Why?🤔🤔🤔

Truth be told, people aren’t upset about what was said, sometimes it’s because what was said stepped on their toes.

That’s when the deflection starts:

  • You’re being too negative.
  • That’s not of God.
  • You joke too much.
  • (And heaven forbid) you use or share something with  a cuss word while still loving God.

Oh, you better be careful calling out the ungodly who are pretending to be holy? Oh, now you’re going straight to 🔥🔥🔥.

The only time truth becomes a “problem” is when it exposes something you’re not ready to face. So instead of checking yourself, you’d rather throw stones at the messenger. (By the way, throwing stones is barbaric.)

Everything isn’t about someone else. If you hear something that stings, don’t get offended, get curious. Ask yourself why it hit you that way. It’s not the person who speaks that needs correction.

 God gave us dominion over ourselves, not over everyone else. And if you’re really about growth, take that so-called “negative” and make it a positive. Use it. Heal from it. Advance through it. We all get a 2nd Chance… but it starts with honesty
