Dear God,

I could not help but weep when the preacher preached the word regarding "truth."  My tears came because it is hard to know the truth in today's society.  Politicians are the worst when it comes to fudging the truth.  Some actually make things up or change the narrative leaving us wondering what the truth really is.  Yet, I am reminded of the words of Jesus when he said, "You will know the truth and the truth will set you free."  Do people lie so we will not find the freedom we so long for?

This morning the sermon gave me hope to believe that truth does exist and it still offers freedom.  We too, each of us, need to be discerning. Is the truth spoken out of love?  Is it inclusive? Does it offer freedom for all?  Such questions help us to discover the truth you want us to know.

Thank you

for our

morning preacher,

O Lord.

Thank you

for helping us

see the way.

Thank you

for reminding us

that truth

is all important

and that

we are called

to offer

the truth

to others

and to you.

Love, Andrea
