When you care enough to openly rebuke someone, you show
that you really love the person you are addressing. That person, and perhaps others as well, will
actually see that love. It is not
hidden. Remember this when training your
children. Think of it with regard to
your spouse. Do not forget it when you
interact with friends and acquaintances.
"Love must be sincere," Paul writes in Romans 12:9. When it is it cannot be hidden. Better is open rebuke than hidden love (Proverbs
27:5)
