Honest words can be painful (Job 6:25; NLT).
Instead, we will speak the truth in love, growing in every way more and more like Christ (Ephesians 4:15; NLT).
An honest answer is like a kiss of friendship (Proverbs 24:26; NLT).
Lord,
Please help me
To deal with
Fake relationships –
The ones where I’m afraid
To speak the truth.
Please give me courage
To be direct,
So all my relationships
Will be as honest
And equal
As possible.
Through Jesus’ name,
Amen.
