Truth

There is truth which is... the facts, what is happening in the natural, etc.

But then there is God's Truth (real truth) which always brings life and THIS is the truth we are to share with others.

The first truth is often accusing and can bring condemnation and make people feel horrible or defeated when shared.  This kind of truth may not bring change and freedom.

God's Truth may bring conviction, which reveals our need for God's forgiveness and God's Help; which brings change and new life into those areas of a person's life... This Truth brings hope and life into the situation and into that individual's life.

So the one truth may actually lead to bondage, feelings of failure, hopelessness and despair, but when God's truth is brought into that situation or life, with it comes Hope, Freedom and the Promise of Peace among many other life-giving blessings.

... just something to remember when we are trying to help others and for our own lives when circumstances are not what we wish they were

Security

Until a person is certain of their own security, they cannot truly put others before themselves, have true concern for others, or really help others.

As a Christian, our security is not self-attained or self-achived.  It is not dependent upon another human being, such as a spouse or parent even.  This is how the world views security.  Our security solely lies in our complete faith and trust in God.

Faith and Trust that God is in control of everything and that we are in His care always.  When we know this, there is no need to worry about ourselves and we are free to concentrate on helping others who have not heard or realized this important truth.
