Some truths we don’t like.


Maybe it’s embarrassing or inconvenient.
 Maybe it just challenges us to take responsibility
 over something that we have been
 neglecting for too long.
God stopped a man who was resisting
 him in his own goodness. 
Saul was too good for God.
 He claimed that
he didn’t need forgiveness from God.
 In his own righteousness he ended up 
persecuting God’s people.
God stopped him with a supernatural intervention
on his way from Jerusalem to Damascus.
God spoke from heaven,
”It is hard for you to kick against the goads.” 
Acts 26:14
Saul gave up and became Paul, 
which means little.
That’s what truth does to us.
It brings us to a small place.
The more you fight against the truth,
 the more painful it becomes to you. 
You will be hurting yourself.
The truth is not for us to be discussed,
 but to be obeyed.
Was Jesus lying, when he said, ”I am the Truth.”
He actually is the inconvenient truth that
 continues to challenge the whole mankind daily.
