Speaking Truth Gently and Lovingly

Truth is a very good and important thing. But the truth can sometimes be used like a giant club. People have been known to pound others with this big club and justify their actions by saying, “Hey, I’m just speaking the truth.” That’s why the Bible gently cautions us to speak the truth “in love”. It is possible to maintain a total commitment to honesty AND to do so lovingly. This is God’s will.
