Jesus said to those Jews who believed in him, “When you continue to embrace all that I teach, you prove that you are my true followers. For if you embrace the truth, it will release more freedom into your lives”. John 8:31-32 (TPT)

In all the conflicting stories and opinions, thoughts, and assumptions we can encounter in any given day, isn’t it wonderful to know that God will never lie or mislead us in any way—in fact it is His truth alone that will actually set us free!

You can invite Holy Spirit as the Spirit of Truth into your life.  Ask Him to work with you day by day, until you are able to see yourself as He sees you. Until you know yourself as He knows you. Until you see others in the light of His love, in ways that you could not possibly see on your own.

Ask Jesus to forgive you for believing the lies—anything ever said about you, or anything you have believed about others that does not align with God’s truth. Forgive those who lied to or misled you—intentionally or not. You won’t want to be tied to that anymore. Your future is way too bright to allow anything to hinder, inhibit, or pull you back. 

You are everything to Him, dearly loved one.  Nothing can ever change that.  Nothing ever will. The One Who rides on the wings of the wind, outshines the sun, and gives light to the moon, is yours. This rock-solid God, able to redeem, restore, and renew, is fully devoted to you. 

Let that truth, His truth, strengthen, encourage, and carry you through.
