One oft commandments of Scripture is to
speak uth with those around us.We have to
ome any fears about our inadequacies
order to speak the truth. Whether con-
ronting a roommate with whom we have a
disagreement or telling a family member of
God's deep love for them, we are tospeakthe
truth. However, we must speak the truth in
love. Speaking with love adds a whole new
dimension, because it changes our attitude
from one of arrogance or condescension to
one of humility and meekness. God's com
mand is unavoidable: SPEAK THE TRUTH;
because He is a God of Love, He takes His
command a step further by telling us that
love is an essential part of getting the mes
sage across to someone. Without love, our
message, whatever it is, becomes void of any
sincerity.
