Can we be harsh?
I wonder, can we ever be harsh when telling the truth to fellow brothers and sisters? Can we be harsh to them by telling them the truth plainly? What does it truly mean to speak the truth in love?
I don't get why the Bible is so full of plain, harsh, striking truth. I don't get why our daily conversation with fellow brothers and sisters are never as plain. And when someone do start speaking plainly from the Bible, they call that person rude, insensitive, proud, show-off!!!
What's with this world? The world that loves lies so much that they hate those who loves the truth.
But another side of telling the truth harshly is.. telling lies harshly as well!! Telling things that we think is right and forcing people to believe in it and hold on to it!!
So when we do think that we are telling the "Truth" make sure it's the Bible truth, not some subjective truth that we feel and think is truth... That's no longer God's truth but OUR truth.
The best solution is to pray, and don't use our words, but God's words. Consult Him. Pray to Him. Read His words. Listen to Him. Surrender to Him. Let Him use us. Acknowledge that He is King, Jesus is King, He is God!
Do it in the name of Jesus
