The Truth Shall Set Us Free

I have been thinking upon many things as of late.... I remember being newly saved and the words of Jesus where He would speak "I tell you the truth.." would hit my heart time and time again bringing with it waves of peace.....

I had lived in and around so many lies... here was the truth!!! It was such a healing time....

As I have grown with the Lord and in life I have seen how lies had crippled me for so long. Lies I lived... Lies I believed... Lies I told.... Through recent times (as I have been writing and revisiting events of my past) I have truly been impacted by how important it is to live in truth... There are even books out there, "Tell yourself the truth," "Teaching your kids to tell themselves the truth," etc..... and there are great lessons to be found.....

There are truths that we just know inside of us and then there are lessons that we live and learn that serve to teach us a deeper understanding of why the truth is so important....

As I began to think upon all of these things more I started to see my story... my walk with God... my walk within different places of service through a lens of victory... of moving away from lies and entering more and more into truth... being truthful with myself.. areas of strengths and weaknesses.... evaluating myself honestly as best as one can do for themselves... seeing God more as He truly is not as man/I would sometimes make Him out to be.... and viewing life in ministry and service through experience and through a lens of understanding and grace that comes with that experience.....

So the next writings are going to be walking through all of this... something like... And The Truth Shall Set Us Free.... How facing truth in my life, with God, and ministry has grown and shaped my world....

You are welcome to join the journey.....
