Day 16

Who would have thought telling the truth would be so distasteful? From an early age we learn to deftly navigate the difference between the half-truths, outright lies and the full, naked truth where we rarely dare to travel. And then we are surprised to find ourselves in darkness and despair.

“Then you will know the truth and the truth will set you free.” —John 8:32

Jesus not only tells the truth and inhabits the truth, Jesus IS the truth. When we tell the truth we move closer to Jesus, and to our freedom. Why would that frighten us?

Begin to tell the truth, about yourself, to yourself, in the presence of others. Look the truth about yourself full in the face and believe that the face you see is Jesus.
