Have I become your enemy because I tell you the truth?

 

Have I become your enemy because I tell you the truth?
This is the question Paul asked of some Christians with whom he previously had a good relationship (Galatians 4:16).  We can feel Paul’s pain as he asks.  Am I so sensitive or arrogant that I am angry with loved ones who bring me words of correction I do not want to hear?  Truth is unchangeable and absolute.  Truth may be painful.  Truth is what we need, even when we do not want to hear it.  One who brings truth is a true friend.
