Most ministry leaders won't speak up for fear of rejection, shame, ridicule, or others realizing that we are not perfect (among other things). The work of ministry can sometimes be hurtful and discouraging. As leaders, sometimes we hurt each other, sometimes we make bad decisions, sometimes we bleed on the people we are serving because of unaddressed issues, and all times our family pay the cost. But we should never be afraid to speak up. Stop hiding what hurt you.
It's time to take off the false happy faces. We are all human and our souls are just as valuable as others.
Galatians 6:1-2; Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
Isaiah 58:12; ...thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.
James 5:16; Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
