It may not sound nice and pleasing, but it is the truth.
It may come as a shock and as an unwelcome answer, but it is the truth.
It may be heavy and bitter in the mouth, but it is the truth.
It may not be interesting and captivating, but it is the truth.
It may not be dressed up and made to look beautiful, but it is the truth.
It may cost you your friends, family and reputation, but it is the truth.
It bluntly refuses to be associated with lies and exaggeration, because it is the truth.
It may require you be shamed and corrected, but it is the truth.
It may be a waste of your time and energy, but it is the truth.
Truth’s beauty is that, while you felt guilty, ashamed, degraded, unsure, isolated, bruised, accused, pained and condemned, it did not neglect, despise, judge or criticise you.
Instead, its beauty patiently stood by and bore with you, willing you to come clean.
You see, Truth, knew from the start, that only its beauty would remove all sorrows and heal all the brokenness in your soul.
