The Truth
I read Bo Sanchez's book, 7 Secrets to Real Freedom, he pointed out some interesting things there:
We're all hypocrites. We're all wearing masks. We're all hiding something.
Believe me, I've met very religious people in the world who seem so holy on the outside, yet deep within, are hiding something. Perhaps it's pornography. Or adultery. Or a drinking problem. Or gambling. Or an approval-addiction. Or a huge temper problem. Or food addiction. And if it's not a hidden addiction, perhaps it's a crisis of faith. Or a depression. Or a debilitating self-doubt. Or an ugly resentment. Or a crippling insecurity. Or a financial crisis. Or a marriage breakdown.
And from my experience, the more spiritually arrogant, judgmental and self-righteous a person is, the darker his secrets are.
Well, it might be quite shocking fact for all of us. But, Bo Sanchez has already preached since he was 13 and I do think that He has seen much of those things he mentioned above.
First thing that we need to do is to admit that we have some masks that we're wearing. And realizing them. After that, Bo also suggested that we need to have the guts to take the lifelong journey of unmasking the darkness within us and to receive freedom from those negative things.
We need to seek the real truth within ourselves, the real truth in our one true God, and then take a quick step in getting ourselves free from all of the negativity.
God will show us the way, but of course we need to cooperate with Him along the way.

Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.
