Thank you to those who left your fingerprints on my page yesterday. Of course I am talking about the kind comments you took time to add.
For those who missed yesterdays post and wish to read my first entry into online journaling, you can click on: Extreme Makeover of an Ancient Mindset. The comments are at the end for you to read.
I pledge to be honest and upfront with my thoughts, and hopefully not in any offensive way. I have always believed in the freeing power of truth.
Jesus told us it would set us free if we would know it and if we know it we cannot help but acknowledge it. There is a verse in the Bible that tells us that God “desires truth in the inward parts”. The Bible goes further. Ephesians 4 urges us to “speak truth with our neighbour.” If you know Jesus, you know the Truth, the Way and the Life.
Thanks for dropping by, neighbour, and have a wonderful day today telling the truth as you know it!
Before you leave, please add a comment….would love to hear your thoughts on how far dare you go in speaking the truth.

Actually, I read “Extreme Makeover” and left my fingerprint on your page today. I’ve known you only a few months and already I know that you are honest and upfront with your thoughts. I also know that you deliver hard truth with a soft and gentle hand.
In today’s blog, God has used you to respeak (Is that another of my invented words? I have a few. LOL)what He has been saying to me about acknowledging the truth in my inward parts and speaking to Him plainly, for He knows our thoughts even before we speak them. How can one speak truth with neighbours, if one does not acknowledge and speak truth to God?
So easily we can slip into saying to God just what we think He wants to hear or just what seems safe; and, this carries over into what we say and don’t say to others.
Thank you for speaking the truth, Greta. Perhaps, one day, God will make me as brave as you in speaking the truth.
Love Sheila
