True friends speak to us honestly even when it hurts. How will we receive it? Will it become a wound, or will it be words of love found in a trusting relationship? Let us grow to find the latter.
Wounds from a friend can be trusted,
but an enemy multiplies kisses.

day15 Thanks John for the reminder not to let my oversize easily punctured ego get in the way of a friend speaking truth. I expect God has and will continue to send me friends to take on that role today. But I also Know that I have a friend in Jesus who will not deceive me and always speaks truth.

John, this is so true in marriage. The greatest fulfillment is communicating spirit sought out understanding when speaking truth to each . God always guides our word when we ask Him to.
Great job,

I thank God for my friend’s honesty. I would not be the person I am today without both my friend and his honesty.
