When Truth Hurts but Heals

Facing the truth can sting, especially when that truth shatters the story you told yourself.
But ignoring pain doesn’t protect you; it prolongs it.

I once believed that confronting the truth would destroy everything. But when I finally faced it, the manipulation, the fear, the generational patterns, I discovered something wild:

truth didn’t destroy me. It delivered me.

Jesus never shames us for seeing reality. He walks into it with us. He doesn’t just want to heal the surface; He wants to touch the wound underneath.

If the truth feels painful right now, don’t pull back. That sting might be the medicine working.

Reflection:
What truth have you been afraid to face? How might honesty become the first step toward healing?
