Don't you know my friend, it is not the most fluent man that has the greatest effect with a jury? It is the man who tells the truth. - D.L Moody
Galatians 4:16, Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?
Do you remember in math class when the teacher was writing problems on the board and after she finished you had to go to the board to work a problem out in front of everyone? Do you remember getting the answer wrong? Do you remember when you asked the teacher why it was wrong with that voice telling everyone you were mad at her? Do you remember telling her time and time again that you WERE right and she was wrong? She became your enemy really quick and no one was going to change your mind… until you got home that is.
The truth is offensive but it doesn’t change that it is the truth. We need to see truth for what it is—the truth! We need to listen to the truth, even when it hurts our feelings or our pride. We need to live by the truth—the truth that will set us free from sin and shame.
How you handle the truth will make all the difference.
