Day 301 -Proverbs 27:5
Better is open rebuke than hidden love.
Proverbs 27:5, nIV
Sometimes, we experience pain when others correct us. It hurts our pride, and it breaks our hearts. But it’s better to meet someone who is honest enough to point out our mistakes that pretend as if nothing happens. A true friend will choose to say the right thing even if it hurts. So pray that God will give you a courageous heart to express your compassion and love to the people around you. It won’t be easy, especially when you know that it will temporarily hurt somebody. But open rebuke is better than hidden love. Know that when you express what you feel inside, you are also helping someone to build their lives.
May you choose to stay honest with the people you love.
