STOP AND THINK – Truth without love is brutality. Love without truth is hypocrisy. (Mike Lee, American pastor)
“The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.” That’s what we affirm we will speak when we testify in court. And the truth sometimes hurts. Maybe we should reserve the truth only for those who have the need and right to hear it. Even then, we must present it in a way that’s helpful and not harmful. We should always speak the truth in love.
Love is patient, love is kind 1 Corinthians 13:4. Let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth 1 John 3:18.
