tough love

Today I have to confront a person for their actions, actions that have rippled and affected a lot of people.  I have thought, prayed and read about this.  Confronting is not an easy thing to do.  It requires grace and in the end perhaps it will lead to grace amongst those who have been hurt and affected.

    That is something I often struggle with: the words, timing, intent, and tone. I hope you are able to see grace come from such a challenging situation.
