Only Truth

It is said that

‘the Truth will set you free’

Yet the Truth is what we hide from

instead of letting it be

A place that is safe

A place that is good

Truth, I’m afraid,

is misunderstood

We fear what we know is our reality

as we keep up the act and the pretending

that all is okay, it will be alright

Why, then, can’t we sleep at night?

The Truth may hurt

The Truth may sting

yet it is only in this Truth

we can truly be free

(John 8:32 “And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free”)

  1. Hi Debbie! Luv your blog! I think I know you from our childhood! My dad lived a few doors from you. We used to play together, when I visited my dad.
