In my last blog I discussed the issue of homosexuality and the reason that those of faith react to it but are there times that we should “let it be” without a word? I believe as long as we clearly state our position on an issue of concern with understanding on how that other individual feels once, then maybe it’s time to “let it be”. We must realize that nagging or preaching to an individual that doesn’t want to listen can turn them further away then bring them closer and who knows the other issues you might have in common. We also must build a structure of friendship and concern before we can even offer such advise because without that balance our words can fall on deaf ears or be met with anger. “Let it be” shouldn’t mean giving up but knowing when words of prayer can truly help instead of words spoken. By agreeing to disagree on certain positions we might open a door to a friendship that is stronger then we ever expected.
