Speak the truth at all time, but let it come from a heart filled with love to see the other become better.
Speaking the truth without love is cruelty, so also to love without speaking the truth is deception.
Most people don't know the true meaning of being truthful, which means to tell the truth with empathy, to do in love, instead of just saying whatever is on your mind disregarding the damage you can cause.
Speak your mind, but ensure the words you find are true, loving and kind.
It becomes dangerous and wicked if you speak it with the intention of damaging another. Whatever you do, do it in love, anything other than that is far away from the truth.
Speak the truth, no matter how difficult, but do it in a gentle, kind and inoffensive manner. Let the other see you have his or her best interest in heart. Your motivation to speak should be as a result of love, and must be delivered with wisdom.
For the goal of truth is freedom, not destruction.
1 Corinthians 13:13
Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love.
