A Child of Truth

When you have the Truth
living inside of you
it does many things.
The Truth will call you to challenge
it will call you to knowledge
and the wise ask for the understanding of it.
When you have Truth living in you
it challenges you to always
be the best you can be;
To accept differences yes,
but to never compromise.
The Truth in itself
is a two edged sword to be borne
alone.

Until
the day comes
when the Truth living inside of you
does not scare another.
I have found that having the
Truth living in me
has caused people to turn
their faces in fear.
They fear the wielding
of that sword.
Too many times has it been
used with unrighteousness
thus causing it to become a lie.

The Truth is searing
sometimes causing pain,
but it is always healing.
It is healing because it is given in Love.
That is another of Truth’s names.
Love. Righteousness. Everlasting.
Eternal.
