Morning Motivation ...

Insist On Talking It Out. Friendships die through neglect. Don’t expect others to read your mind. Voice your concerns over any offense and express your desire to make things right. Silence often waters the Root of Bitterness. Talk it out. Something has been unspoken. Listen for it. Something spoken...can be misinterpreted. Dialog is the Golden Bridge that keeps friends together.

“Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother,” (Matthew 18:15).
