Truth and Forgiveness ...

Monday, September 27, 2010. Recently I had a conversation with some friends, who were quite concerned about someone in their environment. He lived in a difficult situation with a lot of problems in human interaction. Now he wrote letters who tried to reconcile some things. But these letters did not really sound very honest. He talked about authenticity, he pretended to find back to forgiveness and honesty, but the whole setup of his letters was very strange.

How do we present ourselves? …

How do we present ourselves to other people? How do we treat our failures and how do we move on on when things have gone wrong? Some might just try to ignore the things, or to pretend that everything is all-right.

Some of us get into strong depression when they realize that they could not or can not return to a state where things had not gone wrong. How can we hope to live on after we destroyed someone's life, after we caused a lot of pain and suffering to people which we thought we love?

Often, consciously or unconsciously we are concerned about our own appearance. How do we present ourselves? How do others perceive our actions, our person?

In his light …

But it is very important to realize that God always sees us as we are. He looks through our facades, through the actions which we do to pretend to be someone we are not. He sees the concepts of our own life and person which we try to realize, but he also sees the potentials in us, which we have not yet touched at all.

In God's light there is truth. He does not need to use all the marketing lies, all the different faces we try to wear day by day to convince other people of a particular image of our person. He looks through all this. And when he is there, when he talks, when he acts, it is based on truth and authenticity.

I believe that in the light of God, we change. When we live in his presence, then we cannot continue to pretend all the time. His light will shine through us and help us to accept our personality as it is. We will find that we are wonderfully made, with fascinating gifts given to us by the creator. We will find peace in our heart, we will find friends, and we will find reconciliation for our failures as well in Jesus, the Christ. ... more texts
