Honesty
If you ask, most people will say they prefer to hear the truth.
There is a children’s book called “There’s no such thing as a dragon.” In the story, a boy tells his mom that he sees a small dragon sitting on the kitchen table and eating his breakfast. She assures him that dragons do not exist. And, if dragons don’t exist, then you cannot tell it to stop eating your breakfast or to get off the kitchen table.
The dragon continues causing problems that are ignored. And, each time the dragon is ignored, it grows. Eventually, the dragon grows so big it walks off with the house, wearing it like an outfit.
It isn’t until the dragon is acknowledged that it begins to shrink. And, small dragons are easier to handle than large ones!
We cannot fix an issue or problem we pretend doesn’t exist. Instead, the problem grows to such a size that it could devour ourselves and our family.
When we confront dragons, they shrink in size.
Slay the dragon, get the gold!
For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline. 2 Timothy 1:7
