Friends Who Speak the Truth in Love

A true friend doesn’t just tell you what you want to hear… they tell you what you need to hear. Proverbs 27:6 reminds us that faithful friends sometimes wound us with truth, but those wounds are given in love and for our growth.

It’s not always easy to hear hard truths, but I’ve learned that the friends who care enough to speak honestly are the ones who truly love me. They’ve helped me see blind spots, correct course, and grow in ways I never could on my own. Their words might sting in the moment, but they lead to healing and wisdom.

Being that kind of friend requires courage and love. It means speaking truth gently and with humility, always pointing others back to God’s Word. In a world that values comfort over conviction, faithful friends stand out as a gift from God.


Reflection Questions

  1. How can you be a friend who speaks the truth in love?
  2. When has a friend’s honesty helped you grow, even when it was hard to hear?

Prayer

Lord, thank You for friends who care enough to speak the truth in love. Teach me to receive their words with humility and to be a faithful friend who encourages others to walk in Your truth. Help me to reflect Your love in every conversation. I give You all honor, all the glory, and all the praise. It’s in Jesus’ name I pray. Amen & Amen.

Revised Introduction to the Series: The Names of God

Date: January 15, 2026

Bible Verse: “Those who know your name trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you.” (Psalm 9:10)

Message:

The names of God reveal His character, His power, and His relationship with us. Each name tells a story of who God is and how He works in our lives. From the Old Testament to the New Testament, God’s names invite us to trust Him, worship Him, and experience His presence in every aspect of life.

I remember when my daughter, daughter, was born. We prayed over her name, wanting it to reflect strength, beauty, and purpose. As we prayed, the name Jael from the Bible stood out. A woman who acted decisively in God’s plan. Pairing that with Lynn, meaning “beautiful,” gave her a name rich in meaning. Similarly, God’s names reveal His deep purposes and plans, each one a reflection of His love for us.

This series will explore the many names of God, starting with the Old Testament names in Hebrew. We’ll look at well-known names like Jehovah Jireh, as well as lesser-known ones like Baal Perazim. Then, we’ll transition to New Testament names such as Alpha and Omega, each pointing to the fullness of who God is.

Let this journey through God’s names deepen your faith and help you experience His presence in new and powerful ways.

Reflection Questions:

Which name of God has been most meaningful to you in your life?

How does knowing God’s names deepen your relationship with Him?

Prayer:

Jehovah Jireh, meaning “The Lord Will Provide,” first appears in Genesis 22 when God provides a ram as a substitute sacrifice for Isaac. This name reminds us of God’s faithfulness to meet our needs in every situation.

Provision in Daily Life: Whether financial, emotional, or spiritual, God promises to supply all our needs according to His riches in glory (Philippians 4:19).

Calling on Jehovah Jireh reminds us to trust God’s timing and provision, knowing He is faithful to care for us.
