TRUTH IS LIKE A TRILLIUM

Truth is like a trillium

that blossoms in the spring.

It dances with the waking trees

and stirs the birds to sing.

Through winter, it lays dormant,

beneath the snowy ground.

Then with the warmth of springtime,

it stretches roots around.

It grows within the sunshine,

first budding after years.

The plant designed by Trinity

takes time to match its peers.

And there it stands a-shining,

a pure, revealing face!

The woodland floor, once bumpy bare,

now shimmers full of grace!

Truth is like a trillium.

O may my faith grow strong!

For with it, I am known and free

to bloom forever long.

And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

John 8:32

TRUTH IS LIKE A TRILLIUM

But You, O Lord, are a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering and abundant in mercy and truth.

Psalm 86:15

But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd.

Matthew 9:36

"Therefore be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful."

Luke 6:36

And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.

Ephesians 4:32

Compassion and mercy come from Creator God. They also come from His one and only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, who is the exact representation of Creator God. 

But no such things come from the devil. Compassion and mercy are not in Satan's vocabulary. They don't exist. The devil has been lying from the beginning, void of any truth.

From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."

Matthew 4:17

Repentance is sincere remorse about one's sin. Penitence is showing sorrow for having done wrong. Owning up to our mistakes is the beginning for walking into the light.

"And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God."

John 3:19-21

For nothing is secret that will not be revealed, nor anything hidden that will not be known and come to light.

Luke 8:17

But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.

1 John 1:7

Repent, as Jesus preached. He is the way, the truth, and the life. No one goes to the Father but through Him. He flowers every promise given and written down. Jesus is the beginning of all knowledge, all truth, and all wisdom. He is the only one with the words of eternal life!

Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.

2 Corinthians 3:16-18

May compassion, mercy, light, truth, and life be yours by your choice to repent.
