As we continue to think about Truth and the impact it has on our lives, it is evident that Truth brings freedom. Christ promised that the Truth sets us free, and whom the Son sets free is free indeed! This awesome freedom brings true joy and hope to our lives every day – not the temporary happiness we often find ourselves seeking after by other means, but the true and lasting joy that is found in living a life of Truth for the Lord!<\/p>\n
One of our residents shared with me how learning to live in Truth has not always been easy, but has brought her much joy. Here’s what she shared about the joy of Truth:<\/p>\n
\u201cAt VOH, I’m learning to put truth into action. Before I came, I knew a lot, but my life was a mess because I chose to do my own thing. Now, I’m learning to live for God (not myself), and it is awesome!<\/i><\/p>\n
Living in truth is so freeing because I’m learning to live for God. There is no hiding, no lying, no guilt, no pain \u2013 but plenty of joy, and blessings, and freedom!<\/i><\/p>\n
Learning to live in the truth is a journey from darkness to light, sadness to joy, and emptiness to overflowing blessings. It is a journey, so there are lessons to learn, corrections to make, and tears to surrender, but the journey goes on and on, and God is with me every step of the way.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n
Even when we don’t see it, there truly is<\/u> joy, light, and freedom in a life filled with Truth! May we commit ourselves to walking in the light, meditating and living by the Truth of the Word!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
