Speaking THE TRUTH when the world tells you to speak yours….
Your truth.
Have you heard that saying before?
it’s plastered all over social media…. you hear it constantly on the news.
‘I’m just speaking MY truth.’
You can have feelings and emotions that feel true to you….they feel real. Your feelings matter and you should be open about that, but I think we use ‘truth’ when we we should be using the word ’emotions.’
Truth is not something that can be different to different people. Truth is truth. It is concrete. It is not up for discussion, it isnt different to you and to me.
Jesus is the truth. God’s word is the truth. If ‘your truth’ does not line up with the Word of God, then I’ll be blunt with you, it is simply not the truth.
‘I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.’ John 14:6 ( Jesus speaking)
I encourage you to be careful when you are using the word ‘truth.’ You have ability to turn people from the path and deceive them by speaking lies in the name of Jesus. Let your words align with the Word of God, and encourage others to stay the course.
Woe to those who call evil good and good evil,
who substitute darkness for light
and light for darkness,
who substitute bitter for sweet
and sweet for bitter.
Woe to those who consider themselves wise
and judge themselves clever.
Isaiah 5:20-23
Always with love,
Rachel
