Being Nice Isn't Loving!

"One who rebukes a person will later find more favor than one who flatters with his tongue." Proverbs 28:23

It is easier to be nice to people when being honest may result in conflict.  We can always justify our niceness when we should have been honest.  After all, nice is ... nice.  However, nice is not always right.  

Lord, help me to have the discernment and the strength to show love and to be honest when honesty is needed.
