TRUTH


This is the truth
If you turn things upside down
You can't hope for your life to change
I would be lying to you if I said that
You have a great future ahead
That you can recover from your past mistakes
That your life could be filled with joy
That your children could be safe and healthy
More than anything you must know
Human beings can not accomplish these things
And I am convinced of this because I know you
All you are capable of is failure
You have made a complete mess of your life and
I refuse to believe under any circumstances that
You can turn things around in the coming years
You may think your life is bad now but
There's more to come
You have only one destiny
And whether you like it or not
This is what is real
I am the LORD your God
You should know I believe exactly the opposite
I am the LORD your God

This is what is real
and whether you like it or not
You have only one destiny
There's more to come
You may think your life is bad now but
You can turn things around in the coming years
I refuse to believe under any circumstances that
You have made a complete mess of your life and
All you are capable of is failure
And I am convinced of this because I know you
Human beings can not accomplish these things
More than anything you must know
That your children could be safe and healthy
That your life could be filled with joy
That you can recover from your past mistakes
You have a great future ahead
I would be lying to you if I said that
You can't hope for your life to change
If you turn things upside down
This is the truth

I can not take credit for this, I found it on a video website. The video scrolls each line slowly and about a minute into it...I was thinking...surely this is not making the point I think its making...then, the video stops, and restarts, by scrolling everything you have just seen, in reverse order. It took my breath away. I was reminded how often, I read "truth" with a distorted vantage point...how my own sin, and my daily inclination to believe the twisted view of Satan, and how, his message is really just tweaked enough for me to believe it. He does not need me disavow my Lord...only question Him. And once I question Him, I have started down a different path, and Satan has succeeded.

Oh, that I would hold truth closely to my heart, and guard it with my life. That I will know the scriptures, and hence KNOW the TRUTH.
