What a difficult question and answer.
Among us exist – MASTER LIARS, MASTER MANIPULATORS, MASTER DECEIVERS, MASTER STORY TELLERS who are all MASTERS OF DECEPTION.
How then do we distinguish from those who are real friends and from those that are not.
I have written many pieces about this exact subject for a reason. I will continue to write about it as long as I am alive because this life is NOT A TRANSFORMER MOVIE that we get to pause, rewind, or stop. We cannot escape this life by ejecting the DVD. Our choices of trusting the wrong individuals cost us. In some cases our lives.
There are DECEPTICONS EVERYWHERE. It is sickening. It is maddening. It is frustrating. It is overwhelmingly discouraging to such an extent it makes a person want to retreat forevermore into their shell and never come out again.
I guarantee you the following statement my father said is true.
He said ‘son, in this life you can count your best friends on ONE hand.’ And as my dad would say this he couldn’t even get to five. I can’t either. I can’t even get to three.
It seems we can trust NO ONE.
At this stage of my life, with each passing day that adds experience after experience, Life is teaching me with crystal clear clarity that I can TRUST NO ONE except for-
-THE TRUTH-
Who is this TRUTH?
-Jesus Christ-
John 14:6
“I am the Way, the Truth, and Life to anyone finding me. No one can get to the Father except through me.”
The only way to get to the TRUTH, is to be TRUTH-FULL- FULL OF TRUTH, in order to even begin to set foot on the path – which is the ‘WAY to the TRUTH’ who is Jesus Christ.
If we cannot be honest and FULL of TRUTH we should not expect to even find the WAY- which is the path that leadeth to Jesus Christ. Who in turns reveals himself to those who are aligned and committed to being honest with themselves and in turn honest with him. This opens up the Door to the Almighty Father in Heaven and allows us to witness the radiance of eternal glory.
What a glorious radiance of everlasting life. Abundance of every sort. Milk and honey flow in rich streams of sacred holiness. The beauty of the light I’ve been told is breathtaking. Two days ago- the Sun hung in the sky above the horizon- as it spoke to my heart about the endless power of Almighty God. The sunshine captivated and illuminated my imagination as I thought to myself “wow, wow, wow, look how beautiful that sunshine is, look how it just hangs there in the sky, day after day, what power, what radiance, imagine the days ahead…”
as God says in Rev 21:
The splendour within the city
22-26 I could see no Temple in the city, for the Lord, the Almighty God, and the Lamb are themselves its Temple. The city has no need for the light of sun or moon, for the splendour of God fills it with light and its radiance is the Lamb. The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it. The city’s gates shall stand open day after day—and there will be no night there. Into the city they will bring the splendours and honours of the nations
