“Live
your truth” is the main reason the world is in such a mess.
When every individual starts living their version of truth, there is
contradiction, greed, fights, wars, and selfish ends. This is the reality
today, where every individual wants others to trust them and trust their
version of truth. Facts are replaced by falsehood and hypocrisy. Let me refer
to an example of the Judiciary system. We all believe the court of law exists
primarily to find the truth in any matter and execute justice in all the cases,
though it has never been so easy and simple. When it come to the judicial
system, we cannot implicate and confess that we lived our truth because we know
for sure it doesn’t work that way at all. We take the liberty to adopt the
ideology of “My Truth” to get our way because we are not brought before the
court of law.
The matter of truth is becoming more and more debatable today. Even if there is a truth, the question, which truth and whose truth becomes the area of concern. Today, there are many motivational teachings and religious gurus emphasizing this ideology. And added to that philosophy, the icons suggest following your heart. The only challenge here is that heart is deceitful and can mislead a person either to the good or the bad based on one's state of heart. During 1150 -1000 BCE approximately; the Bible records a time period where Judges ruled the land before kings' rule. And there was a big mess in the land primarily due to one big reason, and it is recorded this way, “…every man did what was right in his own eyes.”- Book of Judges
Ideology and philosophies like these are attractive and convincing because it tries to liberate a person from the absolute truth and from being accountable to anyone. Truly our heart can understand the difference between truth and lies. And we are right. The Bible says,’ “I will put my laws into their minds and write them on their hearts. I will be their God.”. Our heart has the knowledge of good & bad and truth & lies, but it doesn’t have the capacity to follow the true direction the heart points out to. To follow the compass; the heart must identify the true living God; the moral giver who designed the moral framework.
Living our truth will bring confusion, pain, heartache, and restlessness. Jesus is the only Savior who came to the earth and claimed, “I am the way, the truth and the life”. If you make a commitment to follow Him, you are making a commitment to follow the truth which will liberate you and give you peace and Hope. He also claimed, “The Truth will set you free”. Are you disoriented, disorganized and restless? There is hope. Trust Him for help and live a life based on His moral standard. Stop living by your truth.
