"The truth will set you free.." John 8:32
Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. John 14:6. satan is the father of lies. John 8:44. We have a choice to believe in Christ - and then we must choose to continue according to Christ ~ through faith and trust in Him. John 3:21. The truth must be everything to us, leading us to the Father. John 12 49-50. Lies have no place on our lives - either being deceitful or being deceived. Our hearts and minds must live and rest on a foundation of truth, Matthew 7 24-27, leading to a firm, steady, sure life & walk with God.
Our circumstances, previous life & commitment may mean that living by the truth is far from simple - but Jesus can and will help us every step. John 14:17. The Holy Spirit is our counsellor and He will guide our paths, drawing us to walk in God's light as we allow Him access to our lives and obey His Word. John 16:13.
Wise and foolish builders. Matthew 7 24-27 ~
"Everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them in to practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had it's foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them in to practice is like a foolish man who built his house upon the sand. The rain came down, the streams rose and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash"
Consider your life and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal any lies in your life / behaviour. Determine in your heart - and set out to do whatever God asks to set your paths straight - and make right with Him / others. Matthew 7

Use the words of the hymn below to ask for God's unfailing love and help....
Breathe on me, breath of God,
Fill me with life anew,
That I may love what thou dost love,
And do what Thou woulds't do.
Breathe on me, breath of God,
Until my heart is pure,
Until with Thee I will one will,
To do and to endure.
Breathe on me, breath of God,
Blend all my soul with Thine,
Until this earthly part of me
Glows with Thy fire divine..
(Hatch&Jackson)
