" Speaking the truth in love requires two parts--truth and love. Cut either one out of the equation, and you'll cut yourself short. You may be one of the most difficult people for you to love because you know your weaknesses so well. Likewise, you may be one of the most difficult people to tell the truth to because it's so much easier to avoid facing the lies you tell yourself.

But put those two elements together in your life--truth and love--and see how much easier they are to take! "
