Compassion without Truth is unloving.
Truth without Compassion is cruel.
As love and justice are equally infinite traits of God, so are compassion and truth equally infinite in God ... and should be equal in us.
God's truth has felt hurtful to me at times because it was stopping me from, or condemning me for, doing something He commands us NOT to do. But in retrospect, it was loving and compassionate of Him to tell me NO. In other cases, it was not clear in retrospect. But that's okay. His ways are above mine. As it should be. And I trust Him, as my perfect heavenly Father, to know better than me.
