Access
Let me ask you a question. Are you open enough to allow another person to confront you?
Program: Real FamilyLife (90 seconds)


Dennis Rainey: Let me ask you a question. Are you open enough to allow another person to confront you?
Guest: My husband loves me enough to confront me when I go astray, and he's probably the only one who's brave enough to do so! It's really funny when he takes his life into his own hands to say, "You know, you might want to think about that again."
Dennis Rainey: One day, two young men -- Paul and Billy -- were taking a walk down an alley. Billy put his arm on Paul's shoulder, looked him squarely in the eyes, and said, “My friend, your life is headed for disaster.” He challenged Paul (Paul Harvey) to evaluate his life. That young man was Billy (Billy Graham). He cared enough to confront Paul. He cared enough and, evidently, Paul Harvey cared enough to listen, to give Dr. Graham access to his life. As a result, there was not a disaster.
One final thought. I want to challenge you right now to consider giving another person that kind of access to your life. Is there someone in your life who loves you enough to confront you? You need that, and so do I.
I'm Dennis Rainey, and now you know the rest of the story. Good day!
