TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
“Speaking the truth in love, we will grow.”— Ephesians 4:15
SIT WITH THE WORD
Speaking truth in love aims at maturity, not embarrassment. It considers relationship, timing, tone, and whether you are willing to carry the cost of caring.
You are not responsible for controlling another person’s response. You are responsible for honesty, humility, and refusing manipulation.
REFLECT WITH JESUS
What truth have you been avoiding—or delivering without love?
1Is my motive restoration or release of frustration?
2What tone serves truth best?
ONE FAITHFUL STEP
Carry it into today

Jesus, full of grace and truth, form my speech. Give me courage without harshness and tenderness without avoidance. Amen.
