I am specifically thinking of my sister who is living with her boyfriend. It breaks my heart over and over that she continues to live with him and knows that it is wrong. The Lord opened the door for me to talk to her about her life and she was so responsive and not angry. I am thankful for her sweet spirit and willingness to listen. I just pray she will listen to Christ as he speaks to her heart and seeks to be the King of her life. I also pray I will be a help to her and not a hindrance as she continues on her journey.

Matthew 4-6
God really spurred me on with Matt. 5 today. I was reminded how I am to be a "light" to others and to be "salt" as well. Sometimes it is so hard to stand up to people you love and speak truth to them and I really struggle with this. I know its only for their good and its my duty to remind them of what God's word says in love and humility. I am thankful for the grace of God and his strength so that I can do this when I should.

I agree that it is such a difficult balance. People do one of two things; they either shut you out because they don't want to deal with you as well as their own guilt or they slowly embrace it and make changes. Honestly, that's my experience with this. I feel you do an amazing job of supporting your viewpoints with God's word and that makes all the difference! You are so inspirational to me.
