‘Have I therefore become your enemy because I tell you the truth?’
Galatians 4:16
I’m learning.
And.
God.
Has been.
Faithful.
In.
Teaching me.
That.
I must.
Walk in.
Truth.
And.
Not get.
Discouraged.
When others.
Walk away.
Or.
Don’t listen!
Pastor Cochran.
Delivered.
A word.
That.
Helped me.
Understand.
Why.
We.
Get offended.
When.
The truth.
Is.
Spoken.
First.
He taught.
That.
The truth.
Is.
God.
His word.
And.
His will.
Then.
He shared.
The characteristics.
Of.
When.
We are.
Offended.
By.
The truth.
Some.
Might get.
Angry.
Or.
Mad.
While.
Others.
May.
Get.
Wounded.
Or.
Hurt.
Also.
We.
May.
Get.
Defensive.
And.
Attempt.
To.
Defend.
Our position.
Or.
Stance.
Ultimately.
When.
The truth.
Offends us.
We.
Forfeit.
Our ability.
To make.
Wise.
Decisions.
Then.
Our decisions.
Are.
Made with.
The flesh.
Look.
I know.
The truth.
Can be.
Hard.
To swallow.
And.
Digest.
At times.
But.
God knows.
We need it!
When.
The truth.
Enters.
Our lives.
It’s a blessing.
Because.
Our behavior.
Changes.
From.
The inside out.
‘Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”’
John 8:31-32
I pray.
That you.
Allow.
The truth.
To.
Enter.
Your life.
And.
Allow it.
To.
Transform you.
For.
The better!
I love you!
And.
I pray your day is blessed!
In Jesus name, Amen!
