A few days ago I heard someone say to me...."This is my reality, that is the truth!" As you can imagine, the reality that was being mentioned was not a very desirable one. When I heard that though, the Creator dropped something into my mind and heart that I have been thinking about ever since: Jesus is our Truth! And knowing Him sets me free! I have read that verse many times, heard it quoted by many people, used it to encourage myself and others in the Lord! And yet at that moment it held such a strong new meaning for me!
How does the Truth I know affect my reality?
How does what I know of the promises of God for my life influence my reality,
my thoughts,
my feelings?
Am I allowing it to work in me the freedom that it is designed to fulfill?
My reality says I have no money in the bank. His Truth says that He supplies all of my needs!
My reality shows the anger that I feel towards the person who hurt me. His Truth tells me I can forgive the person and leave the hurt behind....one day at a time.
My reality is I am terribly sad because I have lost a loved one. His Truth speaks comfort and peace to my spirit.
And the list goes on......the question is: Am I allowing, believing, receiving, living in the Truth of Jesus? If I can believe and be His disciple (someone who is taught and learns) then His Truth will set me free!! Free from worry. Free from fear. Free from unending grief. Free....Free.....Free!!
Today I remind myself that His Truth trumps my reality!
