"Love verses Rebuking"
As you go about the Lords business on your routes, remember your eyes are going to see the best and worst in people.
Lives so messed up, so trashed, so drugged, so wayward, You will says Man! these people need to get right and get their lives together. But that does not call for rebuking, but it does call to display how God loves them and wants the best for them.
To pray with them, to talk with them, to open the Word of God to them. If your heart has love for them, and not one of condemnation, they will see it. You will draw them to the Saviour for what they see in you as you display the Lord, is something they want.
Is there a time for rebuking, yes, but make sure it is done out of love and not out of disdain.
