I wrote last night about how I have to rely on other people to tell me the truth about myself, because my anxiety makes my own thoughts unreliable. The song "Truth Be Told" talks about a different kind of deception. It's about how we rarely tell other people our truths. We hide them behind the phrase "it's fine." We pretend. We even do that with God. We don't want to admit our sins, our failures, our shortcomings to anyone.
That didn't work for Adam in the Garden, and it certainly doesn't work for us. But just like Adam, God doesn't condemn us. He calls out to us and treats us as we don't deserve to be treated. He loves us. He promises us a light at the end of the tunnel. It may not look like we imagined, but it's there all the same. We can trust in the truth that God always works for our good.
