Intercede --- Gently, Carefully.

Hey, Y'all,

Today's RST is short and sweet (but as usual, not a little thought-provoking). In his classic devotional My Utmost for His Highest, Oswald Chambers said:

"God never allows us to see another person at fault so we may criticize them, but only that we might intercede."

Made me think of Galatians 6:2, "Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ." How true is that? 'Course, in the process of checking out the context, verse 1 practically leapt out at me: "Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted."

Hmmm..."gently"..."carefully"...is that your style?

You've been prayed for today.
