I m referring to the Truth, God s medicine. It s His primary treatment for curing selfishness, heart sickness, despair and hopelessness. Before we met Jesus, it was little more than the solution for our gloomy circumstances. After meeting Jesus, it becomes the manual for living a peaceful and fulfilled life. Once we embrace the Truth, we are making a conscious decision to do the right thing instead of simply choosing the easy way out.
Truth clears the fog of confusion when life gets too complicated to enjoy.
It fixes broken relationships and defuses the ticking time bomb of anger and resentment. But the Truth is hard to swallow for most sick people. So God prescribed love to help His medicine go down. Medicine cures the body, but it s a doctor s tenderness at the bedside that soothes the soul of his patient. The next time you re with a friend or an unsaved family member and you are trying to share the Truth about how God feels on any particular subject, be sure to share that Truth with a healthy dose of God s sweet love.
