Truth has always been and is;
lies had to be invented –
some may frighten, some may please, –
but truth can’t be supplanted;
for truth is truth and cannot ever
change – its light extinguished never.
(They have taught their tongues to lie Jeremiah 9:5)

Hello Rhiannonw. "Truth" "...lies had to be invented..." I don't think anyone tells the truth anymore. Perhaps I'm being too cynical.

God does give a love of truth and truthfulness, even when it is difficult - lies and subtle deceit hurt us more in the end! So we can start with ourselves, and ask his help. and ultimately, it is he who knows what the truth is about everything, – and does tell the truth! Thank you for reading and commenting! Rh
