" TRUTH AND LOVE"

[doc329]

" Speaking the truth in love, may we grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ. (Ephesians 4:15 )
Love is an excellent thing, but we must be careful to preserve truth with it. Truth is an excellent thing, yet we must speak it in love, not in contention .
These two things go together. Yes! let these two things always go together; Truth and Love. Truth without love will fail to do what God meant it for. Love without truth would flatter the soul into a false peace. Truth is a hard thing , like the bare branches in winter. Love is the softener and beautifier, like the green leaves on the summer tree. If you show that you love people,you may tell them truths that condemn them, and yet cause no bitterness. You may show them how wrong they are and only make them thankful to you for setting them right. Christian truth is the way of restoring us to love.
