Scripture Reading: Proverbs 24:26 MSG
"An honest answer is like a warm hug."
Once again I am seeing this verse today in light of Pastor Nate's message on Sunday. One of the notes that I had written down was, "Truth attacks the chains!" When he began talking about this on Sunday it really hit home with me. Truth is such a powerful thing and it can break things! But we must be careful in how we say the truth and always season it with love so that it can break the chains and not the person.
In today's scripture we see that an honest answer (truth) is like a warm hug. This tells me that this person took the time to season their words with love and the product of the truth spoken in love to them was like them receiving a warm hug. It reminded me of how every time the Lord speaks truth to my heart it really is like I'm getting a warm hug from Him. Why? Because that's what love does. Love is kind, patient, gentle, and the list goes on. When you sow honesty with love the harvest is freedom and warm hugs. :)
Today, season your honesty with love and wrap someone up with freedom and a warm hug! Take time to read 1 Corinthians 13 as a family.
