Lovingly Share – Proverbs 13:10
Pride only breeds quarrels, but wisdom is found in those who take advice
Pride, whether you want to admit it or not, is the effort of belittling others. Even walking away from a conversation with shaking your head in disbelief can be taken by others as a form of thinking you are cutting them down.
You may be 100% correct on the issue at hand, but it’s not your job to convince someone of anything. Even if it’s in sharing the gospel. Your job is not to convince. Your job is simply to share the truth. When we feel obligated to convince people of something, we can appear overbearing in their eye’s and in turn appear prideful because they feel we are just telling them that they are wrong.
10 Pride only breeds quarrels, but wisdom is found in those who take advice.
Remember, our job is not to convince. Our job is to lovingly share.
Let this be a focus in your time of meditation throughout today. Until next time, Shalom

Very true and wise sir simms50! Yeah, you can't convince anyone of squat. They have to want to learn from you.
Right...you are so right you can't convince anyone of anything!!!!
Human nature I guess. Everyone thinks what they know is fact and truth even if it's just tradition or myths that they grew up with.
That is what renewed my walk with the Lord...by looking into what I thought was the truth and were factual only to find out in the end I was wrong, BUT I had to be willing to look first!
Exactly. The Lord must have been prompting your spirit and leading you.
HE sure was!!!
