Truth

 The truth is I am my Father's child, I Make Him Proud And I Make Him Smile, I Was made in the image of a perfect King, He looks at me and wouldn't change a thing, The truth is I am truly loved, By a God who's good when I'm not good enough, I don't belong to the lies, I belong to You And that's the truth. 

Lie number one you're supposed to have it all together And when they ask how you're doing, Just smile and tell them, "Never better", Lie number 2 everybody's life is perfect except yours, So keep your messes and your wounds And your secrets safe with you behind closed doors, Truth be told, The truth is rarely told, now, I say I'm fine, yeah I'm fine oh I'm fine, hey I'm fine but I'm not, I'm broken And when it's out of control I say it's under control but it's not And you know it, I don't know why it's so hard to admit it, When being honest is the only way to fix it, There's no failure, no fall, There's no sin you don't already know, So let the truth be told.

 … Scared, oh, I thought I knew scared, But I'm so filled with fear, I can barely move, Doubt, I've had my share of doubt But never more than right now I'm wondering where are You … Here on the edge of fall apart, Somehow Your promises find my troubled heart … This is the truth I'm standing on, Even when all my strength is gone, You are faithful forever, And I know You'll never let me fall, Right now, I'm choosing to believe, Someday soon, I'll look back and see, All the pain had a purpose, Your plan was perfect all along, This is the truth I'm standing on … Good, I believe You're still good, Even when life's not good, I will not lose this hope, That the God who parts the sea, Promises He's gonna make a way for me. 

I thought I knew what I was talking about, When I testified of Your great love, Well, I was a soul on fire, there was no doubt, Bible believing, saved, and washed in the blood But it wasn't 'til I stumbled and made my mistakes, That I could know in my soul how amazing was grace, You brought me blessings out of a tragedy, You turned my old song into a symphony And with Your spirit living inside of me, I'm a new creation, I'm a new creation, And now I know what You were talking about, Went from my head into my heart, When I was broken at the bottom, I found, You're my Healer and Redeemer, Jesus, that's who You are, You brought me blessings out of a tragedy, You turned my old song into a symphony And with Your spirit living inside of me, I'm a new creation, I'm a new creation.

John 14 verse 6- Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

2 Timothy 3 verse 16-17:  All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God, may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

Psalm 43 verse 3: Send me your light and your faithful care,, let them lead me;, let them bring me to your holy mountain, to the place where you dwell.

Psalm 25 verse 10: All the ways of the Lord are loving and faithful, toward those who keep the demands of his covenant.

2 John 1 verse 1-3:  The elder, To the lady chosen by God and to her children, whom I love in the truth—and not I only, but also all who know the truth—because of the truth, which lives in us and will be with us forever: Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Father’s Son, will be with us in truth and love.

Speak, O Lord, as we come to You, To receive the food of Your holy Word, Take Your truth, plant it deep in us, Shape and fashion us in Your likeness, That the light of Christ might be seen today, In our acts of love and our deeds of faith, Speak, O Lord, and fulfill in us, All Your purposes for Your glory.

In all the songs I shared in the beginning, along with the scriptures and the song at the very end, we see that no matter what happens in life that God is the light, but that He also guides us in the Truth which is His Word daily. He guides in the truth of His Word because He shows us that no matter what hardship we go through, that He is going to bring that part of our test by Faith into a Testimony of Hope.

We see how things like that can bring a joy into our life because God is Faithful, He Is Just, and He is Love and because of that, we are surrounded by His Love and His Word which is the Bible and the Bible is the Truth of which God prepares us into knowing that we are loved by Him on a daily basis.

No matter what we face in life, we can't believe the lies of the Enemy, so we should look forward in our days to look to the One that is Truth which is God because when we believe in the Holy Spirit, we know as children of God, that no matter how many times the Enemy may knock us down, God picks us up.

Let's take what we've learned in all of that and remember that just like in a Veggietales Song, it says:

And so what we have learned applies to our lives today, And God has a lot to say in His book, You see, we know that God's word is for everyone, And now that our song is done, we'll take a look.
