"but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head - Christ" Eph (4:15)
This chapter talks about coming to unity in the church, each of us finding our place in the Body of Christ, where the Lord has given us grace for. We must not remain as children, but to grow up in all things into Him. To do so, we have to speak the truth in love.
That sounds easy, but is very difficult to practise in practical. Most of the time, we are not bold enough to confront people and specific issues, because it means to confront our own hypocrisy. We have to come out of our own wall of pretense, in order to speak the truth. Often we do not love the person enough to do it, coz it takes too much of us. Perhaps someone else will speak to the person instead...
Remember that everyone of us must do his/her share, for growth to come to the body, when there is edification of itself in love
