Truth is hard to come by in this world. Right now the hysteria of our time is surrounding us, despair is always within reach, and truth has been replaced with hopelessness. We hear so much BS all day long, so it should come as no surprise that we are starting to believe in it. Where can we find the truth?
It is past midnight. It is past midnight within my soul. I hope that means that light is coming, that the morning light is coming soon. I know the “right” answers. I know the right words to say. I have even seen and testified to this before, but every so often the weariness will get to me and, one by one, the lies take root and start to grow. So, let this stand as a testament to Truth. I will speak into reality the Kingdom of our Jesus, because He gave us that authority and He knew what times were set before us. Here is the Truth that I hope for.
I Am:Beloved of the King. His shining daughter, glorious within. I am His child. He is my father, friend and more than I could ever imagine. He waits for me, listens to me, and is here now with me in the midst of all of the confusion. I have a purpose in this life that is greater than anything I ever desired. I am His resting place. I am a part of the body of Christ.
We are:His people. His bride. We cry out with one voice expecting Him to come, expecting Him to rescue us, and expecting Him to return. We prepare ourselves for Him. We are holding onto the promises that He has made. We are changing as we walk out our lives in obedience. Together there is a cooperate love and understanding that is incomprehensible unless you have experienced it. We are a strange family whose mission in life is to love and to do that together.
For this reason, let us throw away the comfort that we cling to so tightly so that He might comfort us. It is time to face the truth. It is time to embrace the full meaning of our lives. In all the glorious ups and downs, there is a God who cares and hears. He is ready to meet His children now. The question now is; are we ready to meet with Him? Meet Him in honesty and He will honor you with the truth, the words that break dividing walls and destroy the plans of the enemy. You are not alone in your struggles. You are not forgotten. That is the final truth.
