Sometimes, the truth hurts.  It’s not that we don’t already know we’re on the wrong path…it’s when it’s brought to the light of day by someone else that we squirm.  For when someone is bold and loving enough to confront us openly and honestly…we need to not react, but to listen.  It’s called speaking the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15).  It’s genuine love, not wanting to wound, but sincerely desiring spiritual growth in the other person.
