Sometimes we need to be tougher than we want to be.3 total reviews

Kudos on your third-place finish. I confess I was bristling at your hard line in the beginning. Thankfully, I did not judge by the first paragraphs and was pleasantly surprised at your gentle, yet faithful, tone "In Conclusion."
One little typo: "I will always be consistant about my belief" (should be consistent)
Your final paragraph was full of grace!

Thank you for your honest review. Too many times it seems the hard line is all people see in Christians. That saddens me to the core. Thank you for seeing past that part.

I AM past that part! I aspire to be as loving and respectful as you!
Comment from Anne Johnston
Thank you for sharing your deep convictions, standing up for what you believe. this is a great statement of faith and how we should not be afraid to declare our love for God, and how we desire to see everyone know of that love. Your conclusion says it all: "So, the conclusion of my conviction is simple. While remaining tough in what I say, I will NEVER back away from the genuine gentle love I have for you as a creation of God. After all, who needs to listen to anything I have to say if it isn't based on love? God bless you and give you favour in the contest.

This was a well-composed piece that reads easily; however, I often found myself in a silent dispute over some of the inferences. I think that "tough love" can have applications to all people and religions of the world.
Best wishes.

Thank you for your review. I agree that the concept applies to far more than just this short piece. I only gave my own perspective. I can't speak from any other because that would not be staying true to what the article was trying to say. Thank you for sharing.
