“I myself am the road,” replied Jesus,
“and the truth and the life.
John 14:6 (Phillips)
I have no greater joy than to hear
that my children are walking in the truth.
3 John 1:4 (NIV)
Truthfulness — An Invisible Shield
As if it were a bubble
A bubble in which I am living
A protection
An influence
The world seen through it
Interaction flavored by it
A privilege
A joy
God extends it to me
Envelops me with it
A strength
A shield
His character yesterday, today, and forever
His teaching permeating the soul
A rock
On which I stand
His truthfulness
