My friend "L" posted something today that is causing me to think even more about this now. Whenever a friend, such as my sweet husband, confronts a sin in my life, do I act as if it is him giving me the truth or God? You know what I mean? All truth really is God's truth. AND God is sovereign. So putting those two things together make me think that God is the one delivering the truth to my heart, he just might be using you, or my husband, or even my kids to deliver the message. For some reason God has chosen to use imperfect messengers to deliver His truth and we can't allow that to overshadow His truth. So, I am thinking I have to get past the imperfections of the messenger and even perhaps the harshness of how it is delivered sometimes and just hear God's truth.
Just a side note about this...have you ever been talking to your child or someone else, teaching them some truth from scripture or giving some piece of advice only to have it hit you in the middle of it all that you yourself need to hear just those very words?! That happened to me last nite with regard to what I posted above.
It just kind of stops you in your tracks, and renders you a bit speechless.

Wise words Padi. He has even used non-believers to speak truth into my life. It is hard when the person who is speaking to you is not close or the person does not like you.
May God both continue to mold us into humble women who can accept His truth about something in our lives, regardless of who the messenger is.
