The truth doesn’t hurt unless it ought to. – B.C. Forbes
Peter was ‘hurt’ when Jesus questioned his love those 3 times after his denials. But he finally got point. OUCH!
Jesus referred to himself as ‘the Truth.’ God never gave us the truth to hurt us, but to set us free. The power of the truth is in its application – love. If we walk in the truth we feel the love and warmth of God. If we walk outside of the truth we feel its painful sharp edges trying to push us back into line. If pain lingers its only because of our refusal to acknowledge and accept God’s plan and purposes over our own. We can get mad and go away but the TRUTH (God’s Word) will never change, for it is His agent to change us. Lets strive for a pain-free day today!
Until tomorrow…..

“Sanctify them by the truth, your word is truth.” – John 17:17
