Day Twenty-One Forty Days of Focus: Relationships

Sincere Friends Speak the Truth in Love, Even When it Hurts Proverbs 27:5-6 "An open rebuke is better than hidden love! Wounds from a sincere friend are better than many kisses from an enemy." (NLT) Friends don't let friends do stupid things. It's always easier to see poor decisions from the outside than the inside. If you have friends who know and obey the truth of Scripture, you will find good advice even when you don't want it. When you care about a person deeply you are moved to tell them when you see danger coming their way. From the job you choose to the person you marry, friends are great sounding boards to help you find your way. Sometimes just having to tell them what you are thinking will help you see the error of your own ways.
