Saying hard things is never easy. Tough love can make for an uncomfortable experience. However, saying the tough thing in love pays dividends in the end. It benefits the listener and builds a relationship. Pointing out sin in a believer's life is never easy. But, it's necessary. It's why God points out our sins so we might be led to repent. Then, he commands us to do the same with others when they are caught in sin. We do this in love that they might repent, and that relationships might be restored.
