BE TRUE TO YOURSELF, AS OUR GOD IS TRUE TO US, AND YOU WILL SEE THE LIGHT (JESUS), SHINING IN THE DARKNESS, ON YOUR RIGHTEOUS PATH (WHOSOEVER WILL, WILL SEE AND COME)
The path to our righteousness is paved with the truth of God’s love, in Jesus’ name. It cannot be replaced with any man-made material. And as you become a serious child of God, through Jesus, you will find that following love, truth, is the one and only, (the final), application, (which, no matter how hard man tries), will not be permanently moved, distorted, destroyed nor its reality denied. But we must seek, continuously, to be true to YHWH, God, first, yourself, and then, without a doubt, you will develop the capability of being true to others. So, know this, before we can sincerely be true to ourselves, we must know the True God; not people, not images and idols, not worldly proclaimed gods, but the One and Only True God.
Getting off of the path of truth can and in most cases is dangerous to our Truth. It happens when we are more concern with how we are seen by others rather than God. It is truly a tragedy to know that most try and keep up with the ways of the world, rather than the Word of God. Many find that trying to keep up with the Joneses (yester year saying) can cause so many problems (within yourself, for those you love, and others) because we are not being true to self. Therefore, when you are not true to self you cannot see your reasoning for applying yourself to the world’s way or the destruction it brings; causing conflicts and troubles along the way. We may smooth it over with quick fixes but solving whatever problems we encounter cannot commence. Which is simply because we refuse to confront and be true to self, allowing others to think, speak, and walk all over us. They dictate our path, without any degree of surety and security as to which way it will end; but God does, and we must recognize and own it in order for it to be dealt with in the righteous way; God’s way.
The types of problems that play a major part in affecting your ability to be yourself, in today’s society, are that of manipulators, narcissists, greed, hate; the absence of Light, among the overwhelming presence of darkness. The appearance of prosperity and happiness has become an invitation for us to be included. After looking at what we think is genuine and true (it is not) ways of achieving our goals, realizing our dreams, and establishing ourselves among the elite, we decide to do what it takes, on the outside) and allow my inside to be destroyed; going against God’s grain for our life, one of blessings and abundance; spiritually and naturally.
When you turn toward our Father and present yourself willingly and humbly to Him (changing only that which He see needs changing for your good and not for man’s desires) you can take your truth to God’s bank, the bank of love where all His goodness resides and all our goodness (as we are true to self) is deposited. And then, since you have maintained the role of being who God made you to be, (not facsimile of others) God, in Jesus’ name, wants you to look forward with great expectation, to accumulating an outpouring of interest on your deposit.
The tides, of wrestling with your true identity, will turn when we began to obey God in Jesus’ name, at all times. This bona fide way of our service to God, as our Lord and Saviour served His Father) gives us a plain and simple plan, directions included, for whatever we need, to keeps us from being and acting as the world act; keep us from becoming prey of the worlds system; being dictated as to how we should act, perform, and accept whatever is decided and offered for and to us.
It is not a bad thing when in the presence of those we want to impress that we shine a little brighter, as long as it is you, (who is allowing the glory of God to come through) the original masterpiece whom God created and not some phony who was created through assimilation of the world’s expectations. As the sons and daughters of God we are to be the example as Jesus is to us; a light shining in the darkness so that those who will, will come. For us to be a light, we must stop all the murmuring, and fighting, among ourselves and with others, so that we are found without guilt, blame, or shame in this world but a beacon of hope in Jesus’ name. It is time for us to be true to God, with a love unconditional, ourselves, and others so that we can bring out the person we were meant to be; serving YHWH, God, in Yashuah, Jesus’ name, in all His glory; with all our heart, mind, body, and soul.
Entertaining and taking part in the extra sinful acts, (those introduced to us by others) which we commit, has caused us to deviate from God’s Word, His Way, and His Will. It has become something that is bent, twisted, and deformed, without true purpose or beneficial to God, self, nor others; and our lights have been dimmed or gone completely out. And if we are not careful (steady looking up and calling on Jesus) we will be caught in the confusion of the enemy, who has set this world on a course of action that goes totally against the morally correct behavior or thinking. But we, as the children of God, are to walk in our individual path (one set aside just for you and me but together make a better world) that has been set by our God, through our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, which is the path of TRUTH AND UPRIGHTNESS. It is the choice, which all must make, to pursue those things which the mind, after careful consideration, examination, and attention, clearly recognizes to be fit and good (fruit of the spirit). And then deliberately avoid using and abstain from those that are evil, especially deceit, guile, and hypocrisy (fruit of the flesh).
So, in our effort to maneuver through this world, our only hope is in Christ. In this miscalculating world where everything of God, which is good and where we get our true self and revelation, has been taken out of context, or removed and made to suit the need and greed of those who won’t (come to Christ. But we, as the children of our Holy Father, must maintain the course (in Jesus) of being oneself and not become subservient to those whose minds and hearts have been directed away from what is right and good.
There are those, we know, who are not easily subdued, remedied, or removed but are constantly persisting in an error or fault that they have initiated themselves; executing their wrongly self-willed and stubborn ways of affliction on a complacent yet hungry world. You may ask What this has to do with tea in China; being true to self? People who are easily influenced can become easily influenced by those who are not of God (taking away their ability to be their true self). This type of confusion, if not subdued, leads to compromise, for the enemy, in every area of your lives. Therefore, truly, as His saints, we are inspired by the Word, to see through this (with the eyes of Jesus) misinformation. And we must conclude that it doesn’t matter what comes before us, while being and standing in truth (creating battles of the mind and flesh), YHWH God, will place Himself before us. He will cause His Light to permeate through us, so we can be aware of the lies that surround us daily and cause ours to shine to others. And in His time, will go before us and correct or destroy that which is limiting our ability to live, walk, and breathe as the true person God intended us to be; not as others see and want us to be.
We are all, destined for the end of our earthly journey. Will it be shrouded in the truth of God’s love or the
So, stick to God’s plan for your life because He, Jesus is the only true way of getting to the Father and be true to yourself, as God is true and faithful to us all. (John 14:6 – Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me). GODS GOT IT NO WORRY NO FEAR.
