Pureness . . . here is something that I have recently learned, which is an explanation for why I have had so many struggles throughout my life. Unfortunately, and at age 54, I'm just now learning this. Ugh. I hope you understand my honorable intentions.
Proverbs 9:7-9 CSB - "The one who corrects a mocker will bring abuse on himself; the one who rebukes the wicked will get hurt. "Don't rebuke a mocker, or he will hate you; rebuke the wise, and he will love you. "Instruct the wise, and he will be wiser still; teach the righteous, and he will learn more."
I realize that the Bible tells us to expose wickedness, but if we are to do that, we must be strong enough to handle the fallout. I found out that I'm not strong enough, so I have decided to do my best to just say, "Okie Doke" and walk away. And to be honest, walking away is often coming from a position of strength, not weakness.
Respect to all . . .
