Truth

Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming. Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into him who is the Head, that is, Christ. From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work. Ephesians 4:14-16

None of us enjoy difficult conversations, but each of us should not only be prepared to speak the truth to one another but also to hear the truth as well. This is how the Body of Christ works. We speak boldly and kindly to one another and in turn our relationships are strengthened.

I'm thankful for those who speak truth into my life and for those who allow me to speak truth into theirs. This is life-giving to me.
