Truth, n. – exact accordance with that which is, or has been, or shall be (Websters 1828 dictionary)

With all the different forms and sources of media today sometimes I stop and ask myself the question, “Does truth still exist?”  The answer is simply, Yes.  Although it is often misunderstood and may not even be “politically correct” to talk about, truth is essential in our everyday lives.  We need to seek out truth and embrace it so that we can lead stronger, more stable lives.

Truth has the ability to help and correct us so we can become better people if we accept it and are realistic with it. One example of a simple truth is that when I jump off something, gravity causes me to go down.  The truth of what has been, is history, an account of what happened in the past, we may not like it or even want to believe it. 

The truth of what shall be, is the Bible. In one place, John 8:32, it tells us “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”  If we embrace the truth, it can work in our life in a very positive way!
