Truth and Honesty
Connection & Compassion
Scripture
Ephesians 4:15
“Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ.”
Devotion
Truth matters. Honesty matters. But truth without love is cruelty; love without truth is deception. Scripture teaches that you speak truth in love. In September, be honest. Say what needs to be said. But say it with kindness. Say it with care for the other person. Truth in love builds. Truth without love destroys.
Today’s Step
Is there truth you need to speak in September? How can you speak it in love? Who do you need to be honest with?
Prayer
God, help me to speak truth in love. Help me to be brave enough to say what needs to be said. Help me to be kind as I speak truth. Help my words to build and heal.
