Many of us are familiar with the Scripture, “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free” (John 8:32). I’ve often thought there should be the additional clause, “after it hurts first.” Have you found life to be as challenging as I have found it? While the truth has certainly set me free, many times the truth hurts first. There are aspects to my personality, for example, that I’ve learned the truth about, and knowing that truth, and making hard choices and changes, has then set me free. Be prepared for face difficult truths and know there will be challenges on your path to freedom.
