I don’t like telling the truth when I know it’s going to hurt someone. There are times when I prefer to sugarcoat in order to present it like a gift instead of a knife.
However, we all know this isn’t always a good thing to do. It’s unhealthy for us and for others. People need to grow up and know the truth about themselves and their actions.
Do we really need to say the truth to someone all the time? I believe there’s a right time for everything.
When it comes to Biblical matters, I must admit occasions have occurred when I hesitated to tell the Truth because of fear that I might hurt other people’s feelings. I have realized my mistake because Scripture is for convicting.
May I always speak the Words of God with power and grace.
We observe in the life of Jesus that He spoke the Word with courage and conviction because He knew that though others may be offended, it was what they needed to change.
Sometimes, it’s not what you say but how you say it. We can always choose to speak truth with care, sincerity and most of all, love.
“Let you conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so you may know how to answer everyone.”
Colossians 4:6
“And you will know the truth and the truth will set you free.
John 8: 32
