It Hurts To Be Truthful

One of the hardest thing to do in the world is to be transparent, to be totally truthful about everything you do..

It's much easier to criticize than to build up, doesn't make it the right thing to do.

It doesn't matter that God knows us inside out, our very dreams and hearts desires are his also, so if you think sometimes that you don't wanna be truthful with God, that he wont accept you, or that you don't think he'll forgive you then you are indirectly putting God into a box. Instead look at it like God is un-box-able, yes new word :D. And by being un-box-able his deminsions that he lives and acts with us is incomprehensible.. that's why sometimes the small voice in the back of your mind is God, and other times is just you, wanting it to be God. The more time you spend tryin to be truthful with God the more your heart will let his voice through. It's foolish to think God doesn't speak to us sometimes. God is always speaking to us, always wanting for us to wait for Him and accept His voice. The times we cant hear him is because our heart is not letting it through. It's filled with the stuff not of God, like thoughts of the day and noise from your life.

The best way to hear God is to spend 15 minutes shutting everything out of your mind, anything that isnt on God, and slowly your ears adapt to the quiet, like your eyes to the dark, and Gods voice is as clear as day. The blessings will be poured down becasue YOU have desired Jesus.

The thing that hurts when you tell the truth to God is not his response, it's the self discovery of your own faults.

It hurts when you come to realisation that you have been a useless son, like in the story of the Prodigal Son, it hurts when you realise the servants back in your fathers home are getting paid more then you are, and they are with your Abba, your Daddy.

But that hurt, is nothing to God's hurt when you deny him. the Love he puts into you that you just turn your back to, that hurts! God is a god that will keep loving even when you deny him. That love that was before the world, before anything existed that Love was there, for God is lovee. There nothing that can take that love away. unconditional wonderful love. Love that will take your truths and transform them into blessings, that Grace that flows through us when we desire the Lord is life changing, the powerful and loving voice that says 'I love you' when all is quiet and it's jsut your soul and God's love.

That is the God that welcomes all truth

Yes, truth hurts, but it's a step that transforms your life into the life our God almighty has planned for you.

Trust.

Trust, the most powerful form of affection and respect.

You can't love without trust, and i don't mean the word thrown around far too easily. But true pure forgiving unconditional love, the love that has a capital L: Love

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 1 Corinthians 13: 4-7

God is Love, and if we don't love then we are not with God: Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love...

It amazes me how it says here Love ALWAYS trusts

No matter what we do we shall be loved! We shall be loved to the Ends of the Earth! With patience and kindness with NO RECORDS OF WRONG!!! the love of God will always protect us, his angels wings will cover us, the Love of God will always persevere beyond anything... before there was anything comprehensible in our minds there was God, therefore there was love. True and Unconditional Love will never die out, it shall never be forgotten for as lnog as we have God in our lives we shall have that Love.

He Trusts us! He loves us so much that he trusts us! even when we fell he trusted us.. even when he gave us everything and we threw it away! He trusted us, in the quietness of the Lord, and the joyous cries of his poeple to him, he trusts us

Did you know Jesus did exactly that when he was there... he trusted the people that should never of been trusted... Jesus trusted in Judas and Peter, and they both denied him... the Love that Jesus showed them was so extreme in proportion to the actions that they returned back to him that it sent Jusas to suicide.. That same love made Peter a great leader of the very first Church in Acts.

Jesus trusts people to the extent that they can become marvelous (Peter), or destroy everything that they've created (Judas).

But this act of trusting us shows his unconditional love for us. that it has NO records of wrong. Jesus believes, and so shall we, that every person has the ability to do good things for we are made in the image of God. How many of you have actually taken that upon yourself? That we were created to do good things, not evil things, but good. We are made in the image of God so we shall love like him. Unconditionally, as hard as that might become I pray that the Lord shall give me the strength to forgive and Love others as Jesus loved the people that hated him, so much even that he gave his life to save us

Jesus is my SAVIOUR, died BY me, FOR me. So I trust him, for he trusts me
