The truth hurts!!!!

The truth hurts but it is essential & must be said. Today I had to confront some issues that I have been avoiding for a long time. I had to tell someone the TRUTH and I knew it would hurt. You go day in and day out thinking of what to say and how to say it. Trying to avoid the awkward conversation and the possible outcome. Until the TRUTH is spoken you are weighted down. There was a heavy burden on my shoulders that had to be removed. So the hour of confrontation has arisen, i'm nervous, my palms are sweaty, and I am not sure where to begin. I open my mouth and the truth begins to flow from my lips and it pierces. It pierces deep, tears begin to flow and hearts are shattered. I am left feeling disstressed but also knowing it was necessary. John 8:32 says "the truth shall set you free."  The TRUTH is out and I am free!!!! No looking back and no regrets. By staying true to yourself you are able to stay true to others. Telling the truth is definitely difficult and there can be various outcomes. But at the end of the day we must face our fears head-on knowing the best decision was made.
