Truth

I was reading a book about this news reporter uncovering the truth about something and in the book it says something along this line; The story has to do with the truth. Truth can be your best friend or your worst enemy. If you are willing to hear the truth it can hurt a little, but you will benefit in the end. If you are allowing to be swallowed by the illusion and you are running from the truth, well sooner or later it will catch up to you and the blow may be more severe. You may be able to recover and you may not.

I remember a time when I was young and wasn't ready for the truth. Well the truth did not gently knock it came and took me over by a storm and since then I pay attention. Cause in the end it always benefits. Sometimes I must admit that I am not always so focused on looking for the truth and it takes a little bit longer for me to see it. (Remember Vincent's sermon "watch" when he was talking about our focus.) Lately I have had to deal with some new truths that were hard to hear. I am not caught up in an illusion anymore and I am sure this was another growing pain for me in my Christian walk. I pray that others will see and hear the Truth. Ask questions to uncover the story. It does make a difference since the story is the truth.
