Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
John 14:6
What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open country, and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it?
Luke 15:4
How fascinating is it that the game “Truth or Dare” exists? The whole premise of this game is that, as often as not, we’d agree to do some unknown, humiliating, and shameful task in front of other people, instead of risk making ourselves known.
But why does anyone ever choose to play this game? Why doesn’t everyone just pick “Truth” and lie? What’s the compulsion to ever pick truth and answer honestly?
And isn’t it because we want to be known, we’re chasing the experience of revealing that dark, humiliating secret and find that instead of laughter and shock, we’re met with love and acceptance?
What’s incredible is that rather than just accept us, the Truth himself chases us. And he chases us because to him we are fully known, every broken piece, and despite it all, fully loved.
He is making you beautiful.
May you go in Peace.
