Creative speaking or heartfelt feedback?

Here is your stone!! "Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ." (Ephesians 4:15 NIV). I never wanted to get a completely outstanding on any evaluations in my jobs, simply because it would not be true. As a leader in any capacity (parent, teacher, pastor, friend, etc.) you have a responsibility to be honest. That honesty must be given by speaking the truth in Love. It's not an opinion or perspective. It's also not a hidden truth or a time when you speak untruths in order not to "hurt feelings". You can't sharpen an object on a soft surface. Honor those you lead, by speaking the heartfelt truth.
