TRUTH

Truth is often left out, sometimes by many means, yet it only brings disappointment when expectation is never achieved.

Illusion exists

where truth is remiss

belief is simply

on what is,

yet how true

what a web we weave

when we leave truth out

seek to deceive.

Speak from your heart

trust where love exists

find a safe harbour

let truth exist,

deny deception

a crack in your heart

let those that love you

not let you fall apart.

Is it really so

the Devil said to Eve

she allowed a lie

to become a belief,

the truth was left out

so the lie spread

all it left was a bitter path

filled with regret.

It certainly is amazing how we can live a lie based on our attitudes and beliefs. Sometimes, even faced with overwhelming evidence of the truth, fall back on beliefs that have never been proven or suit our immediate needs and thereby perpetuate living a lie.

Thank you, John, for this poetic wake-up call. The truth can be found in this Prayer: "Father, thank You for sending Jesus to destroy the enemy's work. Thank You that because of Jesus, Satan has no grip on my life. Teach me to live in the freedom You purchased for me through Your sacrifice. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen."

"The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil's work" (1 John 3:8).
