Tough Love...

"...we must do as Paul says; speak 'the truth in love.' (Ephraim 4:15) And even when we must confirm our love lest the other individual 'be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow.' (2 Corinthians 2:7-8) In the Doctrine and Covenants, we are asked to show forth an 'increase of love' - not the same level of love, but a visible 'increase'! (D&C 121:40-44)"
