Being You (Part 6)

Being You (Part 6)

Revelation 4:11 "Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created."

It is a certain deathtrap when we spend our lives learning how to lie, because eventually these lies grow so strong in our minds that we become bad at seeing, telling and living our own truth.  Lives come apart so easily when they have been held together with lies. 
If you resist the truth, you will live a lie every day as the truth haunts your thoughts every night.  You simply can’t get away from your truth by moving dishonestly from one place to the next.
So don’t bend!
-Don’t water it down.
-Don’t try to hide the truth with deception.
-Don’t edit your own soul according to the fashion of what’s popular. 
It is better to offer no explanation or excuse than a false one.  It takes courage and strength to admit the truth, but it is the only way to truly live.  Accept what is, embrace it fully, and live for the possibilities that lie ahead. The Lord has created all things for His pleasure and will take care of you and that is the truth you need to tell yourself and believe in.
