There is an ole saying that I have heard and repeated a number of times in my life !!! It goes like this ::

Sometimes “The Truth Hurts” !!!

Why is that,,,, we are taught to always tell the truth, so why would it hurt us ??? It is usually because we have done something wrong and don’t want to admit it or hid it !!! We know that if we confess the truth, it is going to expose us of what we did or how we acted !! It will open us up to face the consequences !!!

Well there is a book out there that is full of truth and nothing but the truth, if we take the time to read it !!! Yes, you are correct,,, It is the one and only Bible inspired by God !!! Whether you want to believe it, does not change the truth is holds !!

I was reading in Psalms the other day and one of these “Truths” hit me head on !!!

Psalm 30:6-7 NLT

[6] When I was prosperous, I said, “Nothing can stop me now!” [7] Your favor, O LORD, made me as secure as a mountain. Then you turned away from me, and I was shattered.

That hit the nail right on the head- I can even remember,,, when all was excellent and good in my life,,, thinking,,, I am doing great and on a roll,,, what can hinder me,,, I am ahead of the game !!!

Well God was blessing me and when I turned away from him and glorified myself as the Master of my Universe he decided it was time to get my attention !!! He let me bask in my spender and deception for a time,,, all the time convicting me to turn from my harmful ways,,, but I was absorbed in my moment and didn’t want to change !!!

Well when he turned from me,,, I was completely shattered !!! Cancer, below knee leg amputation, lose of work and divorce,,, all in less than a year- He definitely got my attention back, and I understood exactly what was going on !!!

Now looking back on that time,,, I am really thankful that he loved me enough to take the time !!! Although I was suffering,,, he was always with me and comforted me- I could not have made it through without him always by my side !!! Thank You, Jesus, for loving me that much !!!

So the moral to this story is :

If you want to have an understanding of the consequences you may face, in the future, for the lies and deceptions you may be living now,,, you might want to check the Bible !!!

There are no lies or deceptions in the Bible ,,, only Truth !!!

God Bless Everyone
