Please enjoy this book excerpt from 40 Days with the Savior:
Day 29: He Held Difficult Conversations
“The Savior did not back down from uncomfortable situations. Instead, especially in this conversation, we see how He lovingly, carefully, and honestly speaks to the man before him. In this passage we learn the key to successfully having difficult discussions: “Jesus beholding him loved him.”
When you need to tell it straight, call someone on a comment, or address an emotionally-charged topic, begin with love for that person. When that good feeling threads your words, the person will feel it and know your intentions are good. And whether or not your words are accepted, he or she will know you care.”
