Be so in love with truth, that to hear of anything else is a distaste in your mouth, a stench in your nostrils, an evil in your sight, an eerie noise to your ears, and a heavy weight to the soul.
The Truth never bends to our preferences, never folds to our wants, and most certainly does not depend upon what we like. Truth is what corresponds to reality, and it shall forever remain as it is.
God desires to do so much in and through us, but without a willingness to accept Him and change, we will forever remain enslaved. We will go about our days, desiring to do, speak, and become as we want, which ultimately will not be based on truth but bound by our own deception...

Evil is evil, despite our opinion or excuse for it. Likewise, it is with what is false. We cannot say that truths are not truthful. That is not a problem in the revealment and declaration of truth on Godβs end, but only our accepting of it.
Wherever truth is neglected, emotions are enhanced, and logic is displaced. Whenever truth is despised, sin is excessive, and purity is abhorred. Whatever truth is rejected, pride is exalted, and humility is extinct.
This is the end of an evolving truth: instability, defiance, confusion, and destruction. Nothing would last if truth was not sound, concrete, immovable, unshakeable, and consistent.
If truth could evolve, we would not have any stability or trust in who we are, where we are going, what we are becoming, what is, what remains, what can be trusted, and how we go about life.
Darkness has no limits, and neglecting truth is what not only brings us into deeper states of darkness but keeps us there. Eventually, we become so deceived that we begin believing lies and holding them as truth.
When truth is presented to us about ourselves, we have only two choices: to accept it or reject it. By rejecting, we are led by what we want to be truth but is not truth. We set up our self-created boundaries. We bring confirmations that suit our lifestyle. We seek after those...
