Can you handle another person’s truth about you… Their raw truth. When you ask for truth can you imagine the anger or frustration that a person may have about how they view you? I have been reading my devotional and it said when someone is criticizing you there are a few questions you need to ask before taking it to heart.
1. How well does this person know you?
2. What attitude does the person criticizing have?
3. Does what the person is saying pass through the filter of scripture?
4. Is the criticism personal or shared by others?
5. Is this worth your time?
We trust our loved ones to tell us the truth, but that could be dangerous and crippling. You can think you know a person but their heart and thoughts are not shared unless they expose it.
When someone is angry and hurt the truth can be damaging to you because the filter is tainted. The presentation of the truth will not be filtered by the scriptures. They will not care about the pain caused and the damage done. The Truth will and can be crippling but how you digest the info is up to you. Hurt people, hurt people.
Is the truth from one person or a collective. The term everyone can not be wrong rings true. I want you to be mindful of the truths you accept for others about yourself…. even from loved ones. I say that because even though they love us their words can cripple and kill us from within. Our souls are delicate and easily wounded; hard and timely to repair. Guard it wisely and live your purpose. Some of us are built in a way to deal with all that we are going through but are too distracted to take charge of the life we are supposed to live. Let us be eager to focus on what truly matters…not on what people think. Let us be eager not to fail our calling because we are distracted. Let us see the gift in each other and help guide each other to a triumphant place where success is for everyone.
I challenge you to define yourself according to the facts, not the pain and hurt of others. Filter the truths spoken about you. Do not let someone’s “truth” about you, cripple you, and hold you back from your destiny. YOUR VOICE within KNOWS WHO YOU ARE.
