My friend, Rob Mullins, used to say, “People don’t care what you know till they know that you care.” I bristled at that because I saw the world as black and white. “People should listen to the truth because it’s right!” That’s what I thought back then.
Twenty some years later, I see that Rob was right.
“And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.” 1 Corinthians 13:2
If I have all knowledge but I don’t show that I care about my fellow humans, I am a noisy gong, a clanging cymbal.
Truth and love go together. If you love someone you must tell them the truth. But first they have to know you love them. That’s how Jesus did it.
