Topic: Truth and love

Ephesians 4:15 KJV

There's a saying that "truth is bitter",that saying is correct, people don't like to hear the truth, they want to hear lies and things that will make them excited. We are told from our text that we should speak the truth in love, they might hate us but let's still speak the truth in love. The truth brings freedom, growth and progress.
"John 8:32 KJV
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
Love is also pure, and it rejoices in the truth not in lies, heresies and confusion.
So you can't love genuinely and remain a liar, and deceiver.
"1 Corinthians 13:6 KJV
Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;"
A song lyrics
A man came to my Jesus
Telling all that he had done
To fulfill the good commandments
He knew every single one
But Jesus said there's something
That indeed he did lack
The saviour told the truth
He didn't hold the message back
(Because)
He was teaching the truth in love
Telling it like it is
While holding pure motives
And showing that He cares
He was teaching the truth in love

No matter the name they call us, the insult and abuse we get let's still speak the truth in love.
The truth doesn't change it remains.

Prayer: Father help me to always speak the truth at all time.

Remain blessed
