The Responsibility Of Being A Chosen Vessel

Sometimes when you have a call of God on your life you have to deliver a hard Word every word isn't sent for their comfort sometimes a strong Word comes remind the hearer to live righteous... to convict you when you are wrong and say repent for the Kingdom of heaven is at hand. Maybe that's the reason that I have always been different and with very few friends, however narrow is the way that the everlasting life and few that find it. Hebrews 12:6- For the LORD disciplines those he loves, and he chastises each one he accepts as his child. Because God himself is righteous and those who he raised up to be leaders must first be lead by the spirit of God...through righteousness including calling themselves and others to conviction and repentance. Now I hate to offend in anyone, for Bible says blessed are the peacemakers but I'd rather offend you and obey God then to remain silent and offend God when God moved on my heart to speak. There was a time when I feared the rejection of people more the rejection of God through disobedience, but God has put a holy boldness inside of me in this season. I am persuaded to go with God even if I have to go all by myself.
2 Corinthians 7:8 Even if I caused you sorrow by my letter, I do not regret it. Though I did regret it—I see that my letter hurt you, but only for a little while— 9 yet now I am happy, not because you were made sorry, but because your sorrow led you to repentance. For you became sorrowful as God intended and so were not harmed in any way by us. 10 Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death. 11 See what this godly sorrow has produced in you: what earnestness, what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what alarm, what longing, what concern, what readiness to see justice done. At every point you have proved yourselves to be innocent in this matter. 12 So even though I wrote to you, it was neither on account of the one who did the wrong nor on account of the injured party, but rather that before God you could see for yourselves how devoted to us you are. 13 By all this we are encouraged.
