Does the truth matter though it hurts?

When was the last time you heard the truth spoken to you? Was it at work and How your performance was affecting the company's bottom line? Was it at home and your mom told you your room is a mess? Was it At church and the pastor preached about sin in your life and you felt convicted? Sometimes the truth hurts when we are laid bare before a holy God and others when the truth is spoken to us. This doesn't mean we should ignore, despise, rebel against and run from it. We need to embrace the truth even though it hurts. It hurts us for only a moment but it can bring about a godly repentance that will bring about healing and forgiveness. So the next time some one speaks the truth in love to you embrace it and ask God's and others forgiveness and begin the healing process.
