We often think of being a good Christian as being kind, agreeable, and considerate toward others. But genuine love sometimes requires us to have difficult conversations, set boundaries, or say things people may not want to hear.

Do you think there’s a difference between being nice and showing Christian love?

Can you think of situations where the most loving response might not be the easiest or most agreeable one?

Love means doing what’s best for other people. That can mean being nice or it can mean telling them something they don’t want to hear.
