at least that's what Mary Poppins taught us. but what do we do with a generation who has been given the sugar with no medicine? how does one go about telling a child that they've been lied to without crushing or wounding them more deeply? how can a grown man find truth, spoken through harsh words, acceptable?
speaking the truth in love...let your speech always be with grace
that's what paul taught. truth must always be given with grace & love. but when we've become all about love and acceptance, even tolerance, how do we add in truth without turning everyone against us? how do we make ourselves understood? how do we seperate the person from the action, the mindset and most importantly the emotion.
in our quest for happiness, we've overlooked the truth. we've pursued peace and ended up spineless. we've fed ourselves sugarcoated lies, and now find ourselves all the more hungry.
oh love, how you've ruined us.
hope, you have made us weak.
grace, you have made fools of us all.
