Better is open rebuke
Than love that is concealed.
6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend,
But [a]deceitful are the kisses of an enemy
Now at first I thought these verses were for me on how to confront others on their sins but then God hit me with "How would/do I act when someone confronts(tries) me on on my sin?" In a perfect world I would say "oh thank you, you are so right, that is very wrong of me I am so glad you brought this to my attention, can you help me with this issue?" However more often then not I probably don't even have an approachable spirit and when people do confront I will tell them where they can stick their issues (just kidding, sorta :-).
So the questions for me, and in turn for you, do I have an approachable Spirit? How do I respond when confronted with the sin that IS in my life? How do I view wounds from a friend and am I being deceived by kisses from the enemy?
