By speaking the truth, in a spirit of love, we must grow up in every way to Christ. Ephesians 4:15

Telling the truth is sometimes difficult. Often times we justify "little white lies" to "protect others", when in reality we are just protecting ourselves from situations that can be potentially stressful. Yes, sometimes the truth is difficult to hear. However, we are called to speak the truth in love, and it's a path we should all take. When speaking the truth will be difficult, pray before having those discussions and seek guidance from the Holy Spirit. The words to say will be given to you if you ask.
