Soft on Discipline, Hardened on Compassion: A Moral Imbalance
Went for a walk and in prayer God put on my heart something I wanted to share. We’ve gotten soft in all the wrong places and hardened where it hurts most. We’ve softened on: • Discipline • Honor • Respect • Integrity • Teaching our kids to be hard workers • Obedience and respect for coaches, leaders, and parents • Personal responsibility But we’ve hardened our hearts toward compassion for our fellow human beings. The result? An inside-out society that is soft where we should be strong, calloused where we should be kind. This imbalance breeds corruption, division, and decay. Lord help us 🙏
