Truth Test

There is one thing that will stand every test that life can throw against it. That one thing is truth.  Truth is true no matter what. Nothing will ever change that truth.

Often times people put too much faith in facts.  The doctor’s report is fact. The bank statement is fact. What others say about you often is only fact.  When we do this we allow facts to direct our lives, not the truth.  The truth can be harder to digest than facts.  Many people can’t handle the truth.  For me and in my life, the foundational truth that I stand on is that “Jesus loves me.”  Everything that comes into my life has to go through the filter of truth that Jesus loves me.  Someone says, “You’re no good,” “You’re not good enough,” “You’re worthless,” I put it through the Jesus loves me truth filter.  See, when we know the truth and stand on it no matter what the facts say about us, we will be secure.  There is stability in the truth.  Truth will never fail you.  The key to it all is learning the truth.  Don’t let facts get in the way of the truth.
