A Daily Devotional About telling the truth about life… Proverbs 13:5 The righteous hate what is false, but the wicked bring shame and disgrace (NIV) Facing or telling
the truth about yourself or your life is difficult. Telling yourself the truth
is difficult because when you tell yourself the truth, you may need to tell
yourself truths you don't want to admit. Telling the truth is difficult because
the truth can be hurtful. Sometimes living a lie appears to be easier than
telling the truth. However, living a lie puts you in prison. Telling the truth,
even the worst, most hurtful truth, can set you on a path to freedom. Because
life is often full of pain and darkness, telling the truth can pile on more of
the pain. Admitting we are helpless about pain is also a difficult admission.
Some of the pain and darkness in our life is caused by our sin. To admit we
cause some of the pain and darkness in our life and in the life of others can
often be too much for us to bear. In response, we then lie to ourselves rather
than telling ourselves the truth. However, there is a glorious and grand result
from telling ourselves the truth about our life. When we tell ourselves the
truth, we are set free from our prison. When we tell ourselves the truth, we are
released from the prison of our lies, we are freed from the prison of our guilt, and
set free from the chains of our denial. |
