Good afternoon friends! Well, God has been dealing with me the last few days about TRUTH! It sounds so simple, so easy, but do we always tell the truth?
So often our pride gets in the way and we will refuse to say what is on our mind or bothering us. We either do not respond or respond with 'nothing is wrong'. Either of which is a lie or not the truth!
Fear also gets in the way of truth. I cannot tell for fear of what others may think, or, fear of what may happen to me. Now is when you need a badge that says: IT IS ALL ABOUT ME!
Secrets, too, get in the way of truth. Example: In a book I just finished reading a little girl drowned. The mom felt guilty and the sister felt guilty. Why? The mom sent the little girl to get her sister who was by the river. The sister felt guilty because she was jealous. Neither told anyone until the end. When the truth came out they were set free of the guilty; but, while the truth was hid guilty and shame was upon them.
A Psalm from David:
Psalm 15: 1 Lord, who may dwell in your sacred tent? Who may live on your holy mountain?
2 The one whose walk is blameless, who does what is righteous, who speaks the truth from their heart;3 whose tongue utters no slander, who does no wrong to a neighbor, and casts no slur on others;4 who despises a vile person but honors those who fear the Lord; who keeps an oath even when it hurts, and does not change their mind;5 who lends money to the poor without interest; who does not accept a bribe against the innocent. Whoever does these things will never be shaken.
In John 8 Jesus says to the Jews and his disciples, (which also means you and me) 31 ........................, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. 32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
Many things in this world can get in the way of truth, distort truth, and cause us to waiver in our stand for Jesus. We must be vigilant, stand boldly and speak up for the LORD JESUS CHRIST. All we way must be in truth. May you be led by Jesus today and the truth flow forth from every pore in your body. (Yes, be loving and humble) Love you all.In Christ's Love and GraceJohnny
