PARABLE:
I did something I haven't for 3 years: Trimmed the huge boxwood I love right by sidewalk: Planted 20 yrs ago. Went slow, trimming bit by bit to avoid harm-- or Ugly :) --
Will watch it & trim a bit more in a few weeks
SO WHAT ??
At that well, Jesus did NOT "hit the Samaritan woman" with everything He knew. He "trimmed" her ignorance of Truth bit by bit... & no doubt God continued to watch & trim a bit at a time to not harm her.
When we share God's Truth, do we try to trim ALL a person's misunderstandings?... Or let God's Holy Spirit guide us to share just a bit at a time, as Jesus did? Matthew 10:19-20 EXAMPLE of His wisdom He gives. Bit by bit as we need it.
What does LORD God say ??
Proverbs 3: 5-7;
Proverbs 16:33;
James 1:5 - God will give us wisdom and guidance. He repeatedly PROMISES. IF we ask.
Prayer:
LORD it is SO amazing that You, the LORD of All, not only invite but yearn for us Each to "plug in" to restore our souls with You... Help me to GENTLY share, bit by bit, Your Truth with people, without turning them against You... Help me to show not just Your John 10:10 Love & Care, but also my own Love & Care for each person.
