DAY 23 — Speak Truth in Love
Scripture: Ephesians 4:15
“Speaking the truth in love…”

Changing someone’s world requires more than kindness—it requires truth. Yet truth without love wounds, and love without truth misleads. Christ calls us to both.

The most loving thing you may do for someone is tell them truth graciously.

  • Love and truth must remain together.
  • Truth without love becomes harshness.
  • Love without truth becomes compromise.

How Then Shall I Live

  • I will speak truth graciously.
  • I will avoid harshness in correction.
  • I will refuse compromise in love.
  • I will pray before difficult conversations.
  • I will seek others’ growth over comfort.

Prayer:
Lord Jesus, teach me to speak truth with Your tenderness. Make my words both gracious and honest for the good of others. Amen.
