The Truth

My dad’s in his hospital bed with half his brain inflamed with cancer. I’m on one side of that bed and a member of the clergy is on the other side. He said, “Mr. Gardner, you are going to walk again.”

I blurted, “No, he isn’t. My dad is going to die.” That didn’t go over so well. Lies told to my father by me in times past were many, but this was a time for truth, and it was the truth he was going to hear. I was too concerned about the consequences of his believing a lie at that time.

Truth is important. Does the Bible address it? Glad you asked.

John 8:32 

And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

Psalm 86:11 

Teach me Your way, O Lord, that I may walk in Your truth; unite my heart to fear Your name.

Give it some thought and stand for the truth.
