Editor’s Note: this was written by Hali Lenox over on our Facebook group, and I loved it so much I wanted to share it with you.
Truth is such an awesome thing. Sometimes it seems to me that as Christians we are swimming in a sea of truth. We hear sermons and special speakers. We go to classes and schools to learn more truth. It is exciting and truth is well… beautiful. It doesn’t look or smell like anything else. And it makes me feel good to hear it.
But Truth is meant for more than that. It’s design and purpose is to shake me to the core. It is to be the tool for repentance and closer relationship with God.
What I’m grappling with these days is being a hearer AND a do-er of the Truth and not treating it like a tasty meal or treat. “Oh! that was good, moving along now!” Truth is not to be skimmed over.
It is the sword that shapes me.
