*[NLT] - Galatians 4:16*
Have I now become your enemy because I am telling you the truth?
*Enemity due to truth*
You would think that those who tell the truth always have an abundance of friends. But it appears that it is not always the case. Instead of building up relationships, truth has a way of unsettling them. Reflect back on your failed relationships/friendships you will realise that in many instances truth got in between. That which should bind us tears us apart. When we had a problem in the church, at work or in the family, it may have been due to someone daring to tell the truth. However, we cannot do otherwise for scripture tells us that it is the truth that shall set us free. The truth may be uncomfortable but it is our duty to tell it. However we should tell the truth sincerely and compassionately. God bless
*Prayer*
Lord we pray that we may seek you in truth and in spirit. Lead us to be truthful even when it hurts. Help us Oh Lord to clothe the truth with sincerity and compassion.
