Scripture: "And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge... but have not love, I am nothing." — 1 Corinthians 13:2

Beloved, can I sit with you for a minute?

I need us to talk about something we don't say out loud, especially not in church. Because we have a habit, and most of us have been on both sides of it at some point. We have learned how to say something that cuts a person deep, wrap it up in a smile and a scripture, and call it kindness.

It is not kindness. That's nice-nasty. And it's time we learned the difference.
