Love and honesty go together. However Christian love always seeks the best for another and that means honesty is never used to brutalize another. Honesty that is not based in love quickly can turn into emotional brutality. It is elemental because it is primary. To live a life without being able to give and receive love is to live in a kind of hell.
Love is elemental to life itself.
If you feel that no one, absolutely no one loves you, remember that God in Jesus Christ first loved you, even before you were able to love in return. The love of God is always available to us in all its abundance. Because God knows that love is what we most need and that without God's love in our lives we are incomplete. But with it we are energized to meet the challenges of life with joy and courage. I may be older than I was.
