The truth will set you free...




              It gets hard when you
get close to Christ... 

there is an inner battle
   that others 
never experience... 
 
 Your perspective changes... 
You see things for what
                                       they truly are...

which is both a blessing

and a curse...

there is a distance
that develops

between you and those
around you.

                      Speaking truth
                                    often results
                               in 

                          backs turned,
                                        noses raised,
                                   disapproving glances, 
                                                    attempts at rationalization... 

                                      Because of this new 
                                               perspective, 
                                                   it becomes a constant struggle
                                    to find the balance

                                             between speaking the truth
                                            in the face of injustice, 
                                               pettiness, & childishness... 
                                     
                                     complacent lives

                                          &

                                                               cold, hardened 
                                                                  hearts...

                                            and realizing that you 
will never
                                      learn how 
to pick your battles,

                                      but must rely on Him 
to lead
                              you 
to those
                                                      to whom 
he wants to speak

                                   and give you the words
                     to say... 

                             and
                    accept the fact

                                        that family & friends may 
                                           never understand or accept
                                                   your identity 
and 
purpose
in Christ.





"Only in his hometown, 
among his relatives and in
his own house is a prophet
without honor." 
-Mark 6:4-




For Your Glory,
I remain

Yours.
