Taking a Stand

Every once in a while it becomes necessary
to take a stand with others or even ourself
when we notice something is not right.
Misunderstandings continued over time,
false judgements made need correcting.


Considering if it's our stewardship comes
first and foremost, we are not to judge
others even ourselves unrighteously.
But judge or consider we must at times.



Otherwise, our own misbehavior would
not be changed. There comes a time of
examining, repenting and then changing.
Being lovingly assertive with ourselves,


and taking a stand with others who may
use us as a "doormat" or misjudge others.
Then we must find our voice, and politely
not rudely declare what we feel to be true.
