We have become too nice. 

We have become too nice today. We worry about people liking us too much. Sometimes we need to hear truth and not make it sugar coated. We are afraid to hurt someone's feelings so we don't say what needs to be said. I believe we do these things because we love others and don't want to create a wound or hurt feelings. I say if you love someone you need to be very honest and straight with them. Sometimes we need to do that with our self talk as well. You can build someone up without blowing smoke. The nicest thing we can do for another is be honest with them even if that honesty hurts a little. It will make them better in the long run. Jesus was not always nice but He was always good.
