[27]
“The only way to speak the truth is to speak it lovingly.”
- Henry David Thoreau
The whole truth is hard to find beacause the complete picture is always hidden from us. Since truth hurts, it must be spoken with love. Each one is entitled to his own perception of the truth. All I can do is to invite others to see my point of view and pray that he sees it the way I do. To speak lovingly the truth I must empty myself of my viewpoint.
Lord, you alone are the absolute truth. Give me the wisdom to discern what is true and what is false, what is partial and what is complete. If needed, let me speak the truth in silence.
