Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth (Ephesians 6:14; NLT).
Instead, we will speak the truth in love, growing in every way more and more like Christ (Ephesians 4:15; NLT).
Lord,
There is a price to pay
For speaking out:
It’s stressful at the time,
And afterwards
I have to live
With fearing people’s
Anger and dislike.
But the price of staying silent
Is much worse:
Frustration and resentment,
Feeling impotent,
Anxiety, low self-esteem,
And, worst of all,
Depression.
