One day I was sitting at my previous job working on a project while the children were napping. My co-teacher looked out the window and said, "it's raining." I replied, "no" because I didn't want to stay inside with the children. It's better when we can take the children outside so they can get their energy out. She responded, "yes." I shook my head, "no, that's not my truth." She laughed and we tried to figure out what we were going to do inside that afternoon.
It was a joke and made us laugh when I said, "that's
not my truth" but some people say that even when they are not joking. What
I mean is, when I said, "that's not my truth" to the fact that it was
raining I knew it was raining. I could see the rain, but I jokingly said,
"no, it's not raining." Meanwhile there are people out there who know
the truth and have seen signs of it, but they choose not to accept it.
John 14:6 says, "Jesus said to him, “I am the way,
and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through
me." The Bible tells us the truth. We, as Christians, know we are to
spread the Gospel to others. We know it is the truth. There are people out
there who have heard the message but don't believe it is the truth. But Jesus
is the only way to heaven. There is no other truth in the world more important
to know than the fact that God loves you. He loves you enough that he sent his
Son to die so you can be with him forever. That's the truth worth celebrating
and spreading!
So, what's your truth? Are you following the truth? How
can you spread the truth to others?
