One thousand seven hundred and nineteen days ago I heard the words that began a walk of recovery and sobriety," you have to get really honesty with yourself". Isn`t there something like that in The Ten Commandments, sure you`ve heard that???
As I bravely walked down that hallway to the meeting I was greeted by a smiling face, I boldly confessed that I was there for a friend. Lie number one, true I was there to meet my friend,Jim that just got our of the hospital, he come very, very close to death because of alcohol addiction.
Truth, I also drink uncontrollably at times, but "I" didn`t just get out of the hospital. I was just there to support and encourage a friend in need. All shades of the truth, but not the truth!
Truth, I got the message and now celebrate 1719 days of sobriety, truth I attended the funeral of my very dear friend, Jim. There are no shades of black and white in the truth. The whole truth nothing but the truth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I pray that if you are compromising your life by living in shades of the truth, that you will take a--- good--- long--- hard--- honest---- look--- at what that says about you and your integrity? Are you alive in the truth or flirting with death in a lie?
John 3:3 In reply Jesus declared, " I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again."
John 3:5 Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, no one can enter the Kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the spirit...11 I tell you the truth, we speak of what we know, and we testify to what we have seen, but still you people do not accept our testimony...21 But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God
John 5:6 When Jesus saw him lying there and learned that he had been in this condition for a long time, he ask him, "DO YOU WANT TO GET WELL"???????
