We've been lied to by the government and mainstream media. COVID sure was a wake-up call, wasn’t it?
This gave us a new passion for the truth, which is a really good thing. But our way of delivering the truth to others is lacking.
The Bible says that love rejoices in the truth. This is the same rejoicing Jesus said that the father had when the prodigal came home.
If joy and gladness are not permeating your delivery of the truth, you can't call it the Lord's work. Even though you are standing for truth, it has a negative impact on others if it is not paired with rejoicing.
Jesus was full of grace and truth. In other words, He always paired truth with joy, loving-kindness, and tender mercy.
The only time Jesus was fierce was with the Pharisees, who were beating people up with the truth. Interestingly, those who are harsh with the truth are usually hypocrites.
So, don't just stand for the truth. Rejoice in the truth.
If you can't deliver the truth with joy, it's best to be quiet until you can.
