How do you make a sandwich? Make preparations by getting the ingredients together.
First you have to choose the bread. White, whole wheat, rye or some other kind.
Then the filling. Roast beef, chicken, tuna, peanut butter or whatever you like in a sandwich. Maybe you prefer something spicy or hot.
Then you top it with mayo, mustard, ketchup or something to make it taste good. Put the other piece of bread and it is finished.
Do you know how to make a spiritual sandwich?
Make preparations by praying about the situation.
Maybe you have a family member, coworker or friend that you need to reprimand for something they are doing that is wrong or not pleasing to God.
Make a sandwich. First choose something that the person you need to correct has done right. Compliment them for the good thing they have done.
Then the meat or filling. Tell them what they need to do to correct the error of their ways.
Top it with LOVE. Love makes whatever is unpleasant go down smoothly.
Put the top on it with something positive and encouraging.
Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him; Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins. James 5:19 & 20
