Preferring Truth

Although a person’s current conditions are a result of their actions based on what they believed to be true, I am curious as to why truth has little weight?  It plays a vital part in forming correct attitudes and making the best decisions but too often deceit is chosen. When truth contradicts what we believe or what we want, truth is denied or devalued to “it makes no difference”.

Does it make sense that if truth plays an important part in setting and maintaining our life courses that we would welcome it at every opportunity?

So why do we deny truth in our lives and why would we every say, ‘there is no such thing as truth’? 

If we want the most out of our lives, we need to first change our attitude towards truth. We need to seek truth, honesty, and integrity.  We need to be a conduit of what is true, and right, and good.

We need to seek truth, love it, and long for it.

Whenever you we see something that is not right in this world, you can believe that it is the result of a deception.  We need to trace the condition back to what it was that we believed that was not true.

Another consideration is to realize what deception does to us.  Deceptions create problems in interpersonal relationships, between communities, and between nations. Deceptions create conflicts between people – and by believing the deceptions we enslave ourselves to them. However, when Yeshua taught his disciples, He encouraged them with these words. “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” _{John 8:31:32}
