And the truth shall make you free

When is it heard of that bad triumphs over good? When is it better to lie than tell the truth? Where is written that the best defense is to take the broad road and not the narrow? My son says to me, Mom not everything is peaches and cream. He is blaming me because I dared to tell him "tell the truth" and that is what is now being challenged in a court of law. The bible tells me the truth makes us free. It tells me that the truth will always triumph. Yes, I have been tempted to doubt. Yes, I have questioned the rightness of my decisions. Yes, I have felt, am even now feeling the backlash of insisting upon the truth. Yet, in a way that is hard to explain, I feel okay. It is well. It is not what I see before me that is on trial. I believe it is God's word on trial. He is His own defense lawyer. I simply have to trust Him and His word. The truth will make us free.
