Truth. What is it anyway?
Is it relative?
Is it subjective?
Or, does everyone just have their own personal truth?
But what if I said that knowing the truth, would set you free?
Would you still call it “Relative”?
If I told you that the truth was a “Who” and not a “What.”
Would you still think it “Subjective”?
If I said that the one thing, the ONE THING in life that remains constant is the truth,
would you still think it changes from person to person?
Truth has a name. Truth is a person. Truth is a creator.
He said the word, and there was light.
He laid the foundations of the earth.
He set the world in motion and called the universe to order.
He strew the stars in the sky and He made the fish in the sea.
The splendor, the majesty, the art, the design you see around you every day, He created
them all.
Every single “Wow.” Every single “Oh my word!” Every single “It’s
so beautiful I could cry!” Every single one of these moments are made by Him.
In Him there is no deceit.
