ACCEPTING THE TRUTH

ACCEPTING THE TRUTH


The truth can be
TOUGH to deal with


And the truth is
NONE of us are perfect
Not you-not me
Not any of us


We don't want to admit it-
But no matter how GOOD of people
That we are-
We still create problems
For others-
Even if it is totally inadvertent


“The way of TRUTH
I have chosen


I have set your ordinances
Before me” Psalm 119:30


We can HURT others
In a variety of ways
NO MATTER how hard
We try not to-
Because we are NOT PERFECT


Even if it is just from consumption
And pollution


But there is
Also GOOD NEWS
The good news that God is all good-
ALL KIND-and all MERCIFUL


God is perfect
He is all OBJECTIVE TRUTH


“The one
Whose walk is blameless
Who does
What is righteous


Who SPEAKS the truth
From their heart” Psalm 15:2


“An HONEST witness
Tells the truth


But a false witness-tells lies” Proverbs 22:17


“For the law
Was given through Moses


Grace and truth
Came through Jesus Christ


No one
Has ever seen God
But the one
And only SON


Who is himself God
And is in closest relationship
With the Father
Has made him known” John1:17-18


ACCEPT THE TRUTH
The truth is God
And the truth is seen
In the person of Jesus


Nowhere else


It is true
That none of us are perfect
But through the GRACE
Of God


We can CHANGE
To be better people
Than we ever have been before


FORTUNATELY for us-our God-
Is nothing if not MERCIFUL


And transforms us and creates us
Into people who can
SHARE GOD'S MERCY
With a hurting world


ACCEPT THE TRUTH
We CAN make a difference


“The Lord is compassionate
And gracious


SLOW to anger
ABOUNDING in love” Psalm 103:8


Dear lord=
We know that you are ALL truth
We know=
That you are all MERCY




Help us to ACCEPT THE TRUTH
That we are not perfect-
And still TRY to live like you


In Jesus' name
