Somebody Carried It to You

You have heard it a hundred times this year. Maybe this week.

"Look within." "Follow your heart." "Speak your truth." "If it feels right to you, it must be true."

It sounds so good, doesn't it. It sounds like freedom.

But here is the problem. When the battle comes, when the diagnosis lands, when the marriage cracks, when the accusation whispers gossip against you, you cannot stand on something like your feelings, for it changes every time your mood does.

Instead, God hands His soldiers a belt of truth. And the first thing you need to know about that truth is this: it did not come from within you.
