Love for the Truth

Love Tells People The Truth

 Out of much affliction and anguish of heart I write to you with many tears, not so that you would be made sorrowful but that you might know the love which God has for us. God is full of love for us and He compels us to feel the same way for Him.  When we Love God and observe His commandments, we will be seen as children of God and thus will abide by His will truthfully and accept it no matter how hard or sorrowful it makes us feel.

It is sad to note that a tiny minority of people in this World, Love the Truth and are prepared to accept it despite the impact of it in their lives and how it affects their comfort zone. Proverb 23: 23 says” Buy the Truth and do not sell it” thus, the question on my lips is,’ How much do you value the Truth in religion?’ This verse teaches us to exert whatever effort is necessary to accept the Truth irrespective of the situation.

 Just recently, I found myself in a very sorrowful situation that made me ponder if l should accept what has happened as the Truth of life or not. It took me days to accept the truth but this Truth brought me so much pain that aroused some doubts in my mind and was about to consume me before the grace of God overshadowed me and strengthened my Faith.

 Love for the Truth particularly when it does not favour us can be difficult but when you trust in God, accept and Love the Truth for its own sake and allow that Love to deepen and develop in you then, you will see that loving anything else besides the Truth takes you away from the love of God. God assured us of His Love but He never said that we will not encounter pain nor   difficulty in our journey of life. The more we accept challenges or difficulties that cross our part in life, the more we will recognize that this Love for the Truth and God must become the dominant overwhelming factor in our lives and the easier it will be for us to heal when in sorrow.

John 14:6 said “I am the truth and the life; no one comes to the Father but through me” So when we cannot explain what happens to us or find answers to the multiple questions that besiege our hearts when in pain, let us simply say “Into your hands l commit my spirit Lord because you have redeemed me, O Lord God of truth”.

­­­­­ May God grant us the strength and peace to accept the Truth at all times, Amen.

    Wow, well written, all will be well with faith in God. Faith in God does not mean absence of pain but it does mean that faith will help all of us get through tough times and heal all wounds. Keep on writing my sister.
