Me...harsh?

Sometimes I wonder if my writing is perceived as...how shall I put it...harsh. Yeah, I'll go with "harsh" for lack of a better word. I have my reasons for wondering this which I'll keep to myself, but it's mostly a hunch. Don't get me wrong--I personally don't think they are too harsh. I have tried my best to be honest, to be blunt when I deem it is necessary, and to be biblically-based. However what I don't worry too much about it stepping on toes. Sound mean? It shouldn't. Jesus stepped on toes all the time. He did. Get out the Book. Check it out.

What I've learned in my life, (which is generally what I go by...) is that when my toes get stepped on...I needed it. Of course it's never easy to admit that at the time our toes are stepped on. It's not for me and I doubt it is for you either. However, I internally grow the most when I am questioned, challenged, have my toes stepped on, etc... Let me get one thing straight though--I do not spend much time contemplating, reviewing, or even entertaining thoughts of reflection if someone "tried" to step on my toes IF the stepper wasn't trying to help me, or was not doing so in the spirit of love, or with Biblical backup. BUT...if they are armed with any or all of those things, then that's a different story. If those things are there, then I do my very best to listen up, take note, and make adjustments. I hope that anyone reading a "hard-hitting" blog of mine does the same and hopefully knows I only speak out of love, concern, and do my very best to be love-motivated and biblically-based...even if it hits right between the eyes. (That's just a bonus...and we all need it sometimes!)

Thank you, drive-thru!
