Because of surrender.

When a man is fully known by other men and does not flinch — something shifts internally.

I really enjoyed this and related to every single word!!

Love you Brother

Genice, that’s a powerful observation.

Jesus is the Truth. He stood on it, lived it, and never stepped away from it — even when it cost Him everything. Why would it be any different for those of us who claim to follow Him?

When we stay in the Word, it does expose darkness — sometimes in the world around us… and sometimes in ourselves. But that’s the beauty of it: truth doesn’t condemn us; it invites us into the light.

Honesty is the soil where integrity grows.

Of course, not everyone believes, and there has always been a deceiver. In the end, it comes down to whose authority we choose to live under.

Thank you for that reflection.

I am really lucky to work with a lot of honest people, however, being in my Word often sure does expose darkness, and unfortunately there's more unhonesty than there is honesty. I heard someone say, Simeon (from Luke) knew when he held baby Jesus that He was the Messiah. I hope we never loose sight of when He is in the room. Honesty leads to good integrity, don't you think?

Genice, that word honest means a lot to me.

Once a man decides to live under one authority, there’s really no reason left to hide.

Truth may expose us for a moment — but it also frees us to walk forward without the weight of a facade.

Thank you for receiving it the way it was meant.

Bless You, my Friend...
