You ever notice that when people feel guilty (especially if they’re lying) they get the worse case of verbal diarrhea? All of a sudden they begin to answer questions that you haven’t even asked. Their heart begins to race, beads of sweat pepper their brow, and any attempt at a smile seems unnaturally forced. Guilt has a very BIG mouth.
The truth is such a comfort. It never partners with guilt. It doesn’t change its mind or its story. You can count on truth to be the same today and always. But most of all truth also knows when to shut the hell up! It will never drone on and on. It says what needs to be said and puts a nice period (.) at the end, right where it belongs.
I invite you to be a speaker of truth. Stand on the front line of veracity. Let the facts speak for themselves (they always do). Telling the truth removes the guess work. It’s effortless and doesn’t require extra space in your memory. The truth feels good to every cell in your body. You will know it when you speak it. You will know when you hear it. You will know it when you’re living it.
Make the truth your ally. Partner with the truth. The truth will hold you accountable. The truth will stand by you, unfaultering. The truth will provide shelter in the midst of life’s storms.
“The truth will set you free.“
