What do you do, with what you know is true? Now truth, as you know, is not 'fact', but spirit. For example, 'Great shot, buddy!' - is the true statement about a child's bad shot.
What do you do - or have you done - with the deep, 'truer truths' that have come your way? Those ‘truths’ that you need, you crave, you seek, you even demand - but then don't accept? You know what I mean here, at least the sphere. That's why an individual - not you, of course - has already come to mind. So yes, we're talking about that deep, challenging area of the soul that has been hurt somewhere, by someone, and now pivots on brokenness. I marvel at the strength I see in people getting on - even if they don't get up - after such hurt. But let me speak to this war zone of the soul for just a few lines. God speaks through a prophet 600 years before Jesus appeared, and says, 'I have engraved your name on the palm of my hand.' (Isaiah 49:16) Then after Jesus came, lived, loved, died, rose again, it is written, 'He has purchased men with his blood.' (Revelation 5:9) You are deeply loved, and Jesus said time and time again that in him, through him, we enter new life, now and forevermore.
