Sharing Truth With Grace
Sometimes the truth can be hard to hear. It can challenge (or force) us to flip our currently held feelings or beliefs upside down. It can be disorienting and scary. So speaking the truth to someone calls for patience, humility, and kindness. It requires love. And when we remind ourselves that every person is created by God in his image, then that love should flow through our words easily.
Speaking truth in love requires that we have the courage to share the truth people need to hear, but to do so in a loving, kind and compassionate way. Our God is loving, kind and compassionate, so he embodies the principle of speaking truth in love. The whole Bible, God’s Word, is his truth given to us in love.
If we work to see God in everyone, then communicating in love to others should be the rule, not the exception. After all, the greatest command is to love God and to love others. Words of truth spoken in love are words spoken in obedience to God.
About this Plan
Our words are powerful – and if we’re not careful, our tongues can wreak havoc on the relationships and situations that matter most. In this Bible Reading Plan, you’ll dive into the truths the Bible tells us about our words and discover how to stop tearing down and start building up.
