Uh, oh! I think I know.

Perhaps the Lord has recently shown you what your root of brokenness is. Now what? Do you run away from it skrieking in horror? Do you start the denial game? Or will it be a round of blame game? I think we all have to admit that we are quite good at playing these games. But, unfortunately, in these games there are no winners

All right, then--what now? Here it is--find the truth that matches your brokenness, embrace it, and ask the Holy Spirit to help carry out that truth in your daily life. Sounds simple, right? It is and it isn't. No, that's not double speak. It's just life. But I can assure you that is is possible and doable (if that's a word).

Come on, this is what Jesus wants! He said that we can know the truth and that it will set us free. He prayed for us that we would be sanctified by the truth. Then He even identified the truth--God's Word! Could it be any clearer?

But, in the end, it comes down to our "want to" if we are going to be delivered. We've got to want it to win it. And as the old cheer completed itself...and we want it more. Really? I certainly pray so!

Truth rules! (and we'll talk more about that at another time...)
