My soul clings to you,Your right hand upholds me.
Human tendency is to come to a conversation with someone who disagrees with our views and seek to defend our ideas. We spend our time focused on our defense, rather then listening to the opposing sides questions. And most of our defenses are poor arguments that fall apart because we are afraid of being honest and exposing ourselves to the truth, and hear another viewpoint.
Instead, we should come to these conversations, not to prove we are right, but with a heart of pursuing truth, pursuing to speak the truth in love, and being willing to hear the truth. Truth doesn’t need defending, it will stand, and is able to handle opposing views. Ultimately, regardless of where we are on our views, we will have to bow before the one who is Truth.
