Truth Hurts But Sets You Free

Truth Hurts but Sets You Free

I have no ounce for your feelings,
they misguide you so.
They throw you on a rollercoaster,
they shift your position to and fro.

One moment you are up,
and the next you are down,
you are acting like a yo-yo,
behaving like a clown.

You begin to yell and shout,
thinking you are justified.
You turn yourself into a public spectacle.
with every outrage, you die deep inside.

You have no idea the hurt you cause
when it is discipline that you need.
You hate what it is I say, 
accusing me of being mean.

But truth be told, it is truth, you hate,
because it means you lose control.
Reality conflicts with the lies you believe,
and quite frankly, your gaslighting is getting old.

I understand you were led down a broken road.
And a paddle to the saddle you never had.
Truth and God are now your parents,
and that fact is making you mad.

But wake up, you spoiled brat,
see all that surrounds you die.
You live in a great hypocrisy,
because what you believe are all lies.

You cannot fight racism with racism.
You cannot hate men and call that love.
You cannot support women with feminism
when it’s a man you defend,
   … parading as an imaginary female dove.

You cannot be for the environment
when you commit the same “crimes” you accuse “them all.”
You cannot be a vegetarian
unless you reject it all.

So, let’s be honest now, you are vain, spoiled, and angry.
and that is no way to truly live.
Jesus is who you reject, 
because condemnation is all you give.

Jesus did not come for that;
he came to forgive every sin.
He died so you can live.
Now allow “love your brother” to begin.

Stop fighting and all your mischief.
Stop acting like a spoiled brat.
Start living like you preach.
Stop behaving like a rat. 

Humble yourself, and in Him have faith.
Learn to live and how to forgive,
and follow His every command.
Only then you’ll stop your killing, 
   and with joy, truly live.


It is time for the people of the world, to stop pursuing the World,
start reading the Bible, and live a lawful, and faithful life.  

Raise your boys to be men of great faith.
Raise your girls to be ladies of great faith.
And this world will be a better place.

Thank you! My observations lead me to the conclusion that the US, UK, and EU are in a very dangerous place. The lie so many believe is that they are like a god and their prideful misunderstandings are justified. 2 Timothy 4:3-4. And the worst of it all... so many of our church leaders are in the same boat, rejecting Romans 1:18-32, and above all romans 2:4
