You Can’t Handle the Truth!!!
A friend of mine asked whether men and women can accept the truth from a partner without becoming upset, offended or lashing out. For me, it’s more about Proverbs 15:1 and Proverbs 25:11.
Sometimes it’s all about finesse: the skillful handling of a situation (Webster’s Dictionary). There is an art to communication and when it’s done well, it’s a beautiful thing.
There’s always a way to say anything. Sometimes people aren’t rejecting the truth as much as your presentation of it. That may be fine if you’re Isaiah the Prophet. However, if this is someone you plan on coming home to, you’re going to have to learn how to communicate “truth” with much more care and finesse.
Also, always remember this: just because you want to say it, doesn’t mean they need to hear it. Never lie or cover up, but be careful of your motives. Make sure your words are grace-filled and building up your brother and your sister…even (and especially) when you’ve been asked for the truth!
