When the Truth Hurts
John 8:32
The truth is liberating, setting a person free from the bondage of lies and deception. The truth is powerful and vitally important in life. We can’t live without it, but we also must handle it with wisdom and discernment. Even the truth can be wielded in a way that is destructive.
1 Kings 22:13-18. Ahab wanted to know the truth, but when Micaiah told him the truth, it wasn’t received well.
Galatians 4:12-20. Paul’s concern for the Galatians was grounded in speaking the truth about the good news of Christ. But he was also concerned that they then might make him their enemy because they didn’t want to hear it.
Ephesians 4:11-16. The truth is important for our growth, but how we speak it is just as important as the need for us to speak it.
Ephesians 4:29. When we tell the truth, we must do so with a heart toward building up and strengthening others, not tearing them down.
Proverbs 20:30; 27:6. No one wants their pride/ego to be hurt, but sometimes the truth hurts. But real friends are willing to tell you the truth. And most often, they do it because they care about you. Sometimes we need “tough love” to help us become more mature, more disciplined, and more Christ-like in our lives.
