For example, my bias is clearly toward grace, so I intentionally keep myself aware of the need to live and speak truth.
How about you?
Which is your natural bias?
How do you keep yourself in tune with a balance between truth and grace?
(I’m not sure any of us consistently maintains a balance, but we can get closer to center when we are aware.)
Grace and truth:
- Grace without truth can ring hollow and shallow.
- Truth without grace can be harsh and difficult to receive.
- Truth brings boundaries and strength to grace.
- Grace brings hope and life to truth.
Ephesians 4:15 sums it up well. Speak the truth in love.
When you consider your role as a leader, parent, spouse, friend or colleague, your ability to be self-aware about truth and grace is a game changer.
