Nag in Silence

Sometimes we talk too much, say too much, nag too much.  Our endless effort to persuade someone to repent never succeeds.  Only the Holy Spirit convicts people of unrighteousness (John 16:8).  It is much easier to nag than to suffer unjustly, so that the Holy Spirit can use our silence to teach of God’s grace (1 Peter 2:23-25).

We nag through our own efforts.  It takes yielding to the Holy Spirit to know when and if we need to suffer in silence.
