truth in love

That we be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; but speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all tings, which is the head, Christ.

But how do you speak the truth in love when you know that the truth is still going to hurt the hearer (and you), no matter how much love it's doused in...?

Pray for me over the next couple weeks as I have a lot of love-drenched truth that I will have to tell.


Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; and having a high priest over the house of God; let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the profession of faith without wavering; for he is faithful that promised; and let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works.
