Speaking the truth in love is one of the most dynamic principals in The Bible. I found amazing things happen when I dare tell the truth in love. Sometimes people will hate you at first, but later they just might come back and thank you. The Bible actually says that speaking the truth in love is the vehicle that The LORD uses to help us to grow up!
Ephesians 4:14 and 15

Sounds a lot like my story. I hated those guys at first, but thanked them later.

The hard part is getting over the fear of how people are going to react.

No one likes to feel rejection or rejected and too many times that can stop someone from speaking up.

Another thing that doesn’t help is the speaking in love part.

Delivery when you tell someone the truth makes a big difference.
