Christ was gentle most of the time, but His love did include harsh rebukes at times. The harshest rebukes were to the "religious leaders", who should have known better.
There were times when Christ called people names, dogs, white washed tombs and snakes and vipers.
Our love ought to motivate us to do as Christ wants us to do, no matter which delivery that will be.
Trusting the Holy Spirit for every encounter is the assurance that we will be used of Him, rather than implementing the formulas of men who use techniques instead of Holy Spirit unction.
Our American culture has a perverted idea of love that is far too squishy and even meaningless, the importance of a matter gets lost in all the goo!!!!
Don't let anyone tell you "how it must be done", seek the Holy Spirit and do whatever He leads you to do. Just be sure it's Him and not your flesh.
Romans 8:13-15 "…13 For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. 15 For you did not receive a spirit of slavery that returns you to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!”…"
