You cannot have one without the other

     It is a sad state of existence when what you do best, is a well-known sin. 

·        You wake up knowing your life is a lie.

·         You are going to spend all day perpetuating the lie that is your life: i.e. (In Essence), what and whom you portray yourself as and who people believe you to be is not the real you, and sadly you know this.  

·        The people in your life will today, as they do every day, lie to you telling you what you want to hear rather than what you need to hear, and you sadly do the same for and to them.

     Willingly living in sin kills dreams, hope, and disallows Jehovah-GOD'S desired best for us.  Jehovah’s very best requires the balancing and accepting of, “GRACE and TRUTH,” along with the acknowledging you cannot have one without the other. John 1:14 reads: “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.”

     This passage, so often is intentionally, passed over and not meditated upon, for far too many people desire the, “grace,” yet refuse to accept, internalize, and live by, “truth.”  If we are truly to live GOD glorifying lives we must, I say must, realize and accept you cannot have one without the other--Jesus was the perfect balance of both--and thus HE being our LORD and SAVIOUR, whom we are to emulate--we too must--like HIM--be, and live balanced lives of both grace and truth.
