Reflection

“Your growth as a conscious being is measured by the number of uncomfortable conversations you are willing to have.” –Kevin Kelly

Prayer

God who is truth,

We wish it were not so, but we know that it is true: our personal growth depends on our readiness to step out of our comfort zones and take on new risks. And the greatest of risks always involve how we treat one another, engaging the people around us—our teammates and colleagues, our family and friends. Give us courage today to be honest and sincere in all these relations, refusing to allow any lie or deceit to remain in our hearts. May we speak truth in love, believing there will be growth and peace on the other side of the tough conversations. And lead us all to maturity as we strive to embody your golden rule even when it might hurt. Amen.

Call to Action

Is there a tough conversation I continue avoiding because I know it will not be all roses? Choose to be brave today. Examine my heart, make adjustments as needed, then get on with it.
