Who wants to say hard things to others, especially those that we love and are close to us? It’s hard. That’s the point. Any real relationship will grow through time and testing. The tests you’ll often face include having to say the hard thing. What is the hard thing? Well, that depends on the situation. The hard thing could be a confrontation. It could be an exhortation. It could be anything that will make you both very uncomfortable. But it has to be said. Let me say that again, it MUST be said.
It’s vital to deliver complex messages with love and care. This is an area of your personal spiritual growth that cannot be avoided without great pain and consequences.
