Some wounds need to be cut wide open to remove the cancer of sin only then can you apply the healing balm of Gilead.
Some are farther along in the process and are like ripe fruit ready to be plucked from fire
Some plant some water, some needs to prepare the ground.
Hopefully we have the spiritual discernment to see which is which.
Hopefully we are not stuck in One Gear
I don't preach Hell Fire & Damnation to the crowd going to a Kiddie Show at the Arena
I try to use the Sword of the word, with discernment

Glad you're enjoying them. I'm actually going to pretend I'm going to work

boss on the ride out there. He would not be "gotten" by yelling at him,
either. Gently, ever so gently. Most people are very fragile. At least the
ones I've come in contact with. They have such massive wounds that need
tender care to begin the healing process, not busting them open to make them
gape open, bleed, and fester. In my experience, I've found that only leads
to more pain, infection, and ultimately death.
