truth

hey y`all!
today was good. i didnt go to school b/c i didnt have an exam today, so i went to my brothers awards ceremony and then to target & starbucks with my mom & nana & then i did yard work which was the bad part. haha. so i did my devotion on truth last night. trust is something we should all have, and we cant have it without truth. b/c who wants to trust someone who never tells the truth?? so anyway, John 14:6 says, "Jesus answered, 'I am the way the truth and the life. Noone comes to the father except through me" which means Jesus is the truth. he is pure and we can ALWAYS trust him. the only way to get to heaven, is to accept Jesus. 2 Timothy 2:15 says, "Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed rightly divinding the word of truth" in other words, the Bible IS the truth. everything it says is the truth, and we should not be ashamed to study it. Ephesians 4:25 says, "Wherefore putting away lying, speak everyman truth with his neighboor; for we are members one of another" which means, we need to speak truth to our friends. we shouldnt lie to eachother because we have to live around eachother, lying gets you nowhere but into trouble, and Jesus looks down on it. We should always be truthful to the poeple we are around. 3 John 1:4 says, "I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth" in other words, God is pleased with us when we walk in his word, following the plan he has for us, and witnessing to others about him. Colossians 1:5-6 says, "For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel which is come unto you as it is in all the world, and bringeth forth fruit as it doth also in you since the day ye heard of it and knew the grace of God in truth" which is telling us again, the word of God, is the truth. and we should walk in truth every day of our life, and always trust in God and everything he says and tells us to do.
i love y`all!
God Bless!
