I share this in love, but I was strongly led to say this: Sometimes, it’s not about what you know—it’s about how you present it. Many people are walking around with wounds we cannot see. Behind depression, anxiety, anger, bitterness, or pride, there’s often deep-rooted pain—trauma, rejection, abandonment, or emotional wounds that may stretch from childhood to adulthood.
Anger, for instance, is often a surface reaction to deeper fear or shame. It can show up as control, defensiveness, or emotional walls. But what if instead of reacting, we responded with love, kindness, understanding, and compassion? These can be keys to unlocking someone’s breakthrough.
Some people don’t need advice—they just need to be heard. They've been muzzled their whole life.
Some people need affection—a hug can minister more than a sermon ever could.
Some lacked encouragement—be the one who cheers them on, no matter how small the task.
Some never experienced kindness—your simple gesture or act of service may speak louder than words.
If someone is bullying others, chances are, they were once bullied too. Love them anyway—just with healthy boundaries. Look deeper. Ask God to show you what’s beneath the surface instead of reacting to what you see with your natural eyes.
It’s not just what you say—it’s how you say it that makes the difference. There’s a time and place for correction, but without discernment, we can do more damage than good. If showing grace or compassion is hard for you, ask the Father:“What am I guarding my own heart from?”
Let Him heal the broken places in you so your heart can be softened to love others rightly.
If we constantly walk around offended, angry, or hard-hearted, then there are unhealed parts of us still needing God's touch. And that matters—not only for our personal walk but for our witness.
Now here’s the part that might ruffle some feathers—
Not everyone needs to be preached at.
Sometimes ministering is done more in our actions than in our words. The Holy Spirit knows how to convict and when to speak. How we deliver the message—the packaging—matters deeply.
God is tired of division in the Body of Christ. He’s about to deal with it.
It’s time to grow up spiritually. Get off the milk and get on the meat. We need maturity to handle conflict, to forgive quickly, to walk in love, and to move in unity. Souls are at stake. There is no time to waste.
Let’s keep our hearts right with God and one another. Let’s stop holding grudges, stop fighting over petty things, and keep Jesus front and center. We won’t always agree—that’s okay. Sometimes the most mature thing you can do is agree to disagree and walk away in peace, praying and leaving it in God’s hands.
If you are a born-again child of God, you’re called to a higher standard. That’s not legalism—that’s kingdom living. I love you all. I’m praying we can all search our hearts today and get right—not just with the Father, but with each other.
❤️ Help us, Lord.
🫶 Edited to add: Sometimes, breakthrough starts where hard conversations happen in safe spaces. Be someone’s safe space. Have ears to hear and eyes to see—with compassion. See the bigger picture on both sides.
