Truth

Truth is everything to me – I can forgive poverty... even forgive wealth – but dishonesty pains me eternally to the core... The strength of Christ was His Truth; His loyalty even onto the Cross: He did not cut and run from Truth – His Word, His Flesh His Blood His Spirit one in the same – There you have it... Truth is essential to Love – without it you have neither.

Truth is essential for friendship, to set an example to children, to honor a partner, to have a well respected honorable business, and to have a guilt free conscience, and to please Him by keeping His commandment. So many attributes. the agenda for those that lie, is beyond me. A wonderful work of prose Joe. A fave

Truth is everything: those that lie, lie to themselves as well -- and by doing so, in truth have rubbed out their own existence. We are not born of lie...we are born of truth...lies affectations we adopt -- that only represent the lie. Blessings my friend.

Hi Sally; so pleases this one fond favor with you. Truth is everything. Maybe that is why we call the Bible "Truth" -- I don't know. Blessings my friend.

Truth in love is an essential ingredient...as you so aptly state, without it...it is not love....
