Question: 
 
Should I confront someone who has wronged me and, if so, how?  
 
Answer: 
 
You can’t go through life without being offended by someone. And, if 
someone has wronged you personally, the problem with not 
addressing it is it can breed bitterness. What we’re told is to speak the 
truth in love. What I’ve learned is, if it’s in an attacking spirit, I 
become like a porcupine, and the quills come out, and I’m trying to 
protect myself. However, if someone has come to me lovingly, saying, 
“June, I want God’s best for you. I know that you want to do what’s 
right. I feel that would be your goal. This is what I see has happened.”  
 
The Bible says there is a time to speak, and a time to be silent. 
Meaning, just because you know something’s wrong, that doesn’t 
mean that you always have to speak what you know, at that point in 
time. Wait until you feel the time is right.  
 
If you’re angry, don’t speak. Wait until you are in control of yourself—
and then, when the time is right; by God’s design, you speak the truth 
in love. It may cause a change of life for that other person, and they 
won’t forget the kind way you’ve approached them. 
 
What I’m saying is, it’s easy to attack a person when they haven’t 
done right; when they deserve it the most. But, if you’re willing to 
come alongside someone to encourage them, to be a support, 
speaking the truth in love, instead of being down on them, they won’t 
forget if you’re willing to not give up on them. You could be the reason 
 
why the person who needs to change could literally have a changed 
life, through the power of God working in you.
